I think many of you are already aware of the how the wind can affect the steering. I was just wondering if it was because of the mustangs design? Is there anything to reduce this effect?

I htink it might be. When I'm driving into a head wind on the highway the car feels virtually uncontrollable...it's scary. I also have manual steering if that would have anyhting to do with it. Even on a non windy day or with a tail wind, excess speeds (80+) scare me, which is why I've never gone over 100 in my stang.

I have power steering and I had my cars wheels aligned not to long ago, still jerks around with the wind. Also combined with the horrible I-10 highway here in southern CA, I feel as if people think im a really bad driver from my car weaving around( when its windy)

While driving on the previously crappy 60 Fwy, my 67 coupe would zig and zag through the uneven parts of the highway. I noticed it was getting progressively worst over the course of several weeks. I checked my front wheels and they were kind of loose on the spindles. Repacked and retorqued the front bearings and that took care of that problem. There was a little slop in them.
