Could very well be your tires. If they have ever been driven under/over inflated they will wear abnormaly and cause some nasty handling issues. Wait till you get new tires, if they don't help then start looking elswhere. Mine was darting all over the place so I took it in for a wheel alignment and they said it was perfect. I threw on a new set of tires and the darting problem was solved.

yes..definetly your front tires.

pass your hand over them and you will feel some kind of lumps in the middle. thats what causing it.

I got a 2'' drop without the cc plates and an alignement...so each few thousand miles i get that.

I just rotate my 2 fronts to the back and burn them a little.

I am on 34k miles.. probably the origional tires.. what should I get on a limited budget? should I replace all 4? I can spend probably $4-500. I have 17' rims
