Hi all
1990 Mustang GT:
I'm having a lot of issues with my ride handling at highway speeds, the car wanders so bad that it is scarry!!!
This is what I have on the steering and suspension:
SN95 spindles, Polyurethane red lower control arm bushings, Poly sway bar bushings and links, Bilstein struts and rear shocks with poly mounts, Eibach sportsline springs kit with poly issolators, offset Poly rack and pinion bushings, Hotchkis caster camber plates, 245/45/17 Firestone tires on 17x9 cobra R wheels.
I went thru some troubleshooting but haven't seen improvements at all:
Replaced the right inner tie rod end (It was shot) and then took it to alignment using Hotchkis suggested settings.
Inspected lower ball joints, tie rod ends and steering rag joint (everything is good).
I don't feel any bumpseeter issues but I noticed my front tires are showing wear on the inside, camber seem ok (visually) so maybe toe alignment could be out of spec.
This wandering issue is been there since I remember but I'm tired of it and would like to fix it once and for all or at least minimize it. I was reading about "Tramline" or something like that but how to fix that?
My steering and suspension feels very tight with no slopinness or deflection, so why it wanders so hard? Please give me your ideas, I need them bad!!!
Thank you, Nick
