ok, about 2 years ago i installed all new suspension, tokico struts, with eibach springs, poly bushings most of the way around except for the red bushings, i didnt replace them, cause they were pretty strong. I also replaced all the mounts, 2 reinforced and one stock tranny mount. But now, my Cv boot is ripped on the passenger side, but thats not the problem, maybe with the sloppy steering, but i also get a kind of disconnected feeling with the suspension, like the front lifts up the wheels or something, i checked the mounts, they are tight and dont move the engine. I replaced the subframe bushings 2 years ago also. Something in the front suspension just is bad, and making the car not put down the power. Also, before my suspension was tight around turns, now its like the car has tooooo much body roll and kinda like slides, i think its the same problem causing the floating sensation in the drivetrain at times is the same feeling lose around turns. Dampners? Need some fresh input.

Did you check ball joints or tie rods? Get the front wheels off the ground and try to wiggle them around. You should be able to see what moves (if anything). I just got this done on my car....

well, the car lifts up on acceleration, its def not right, but the mounts are good,did the test. and the struts are good, its something like moving the whole drivetrain up on acceleration. im pretty sure its related to that "loose feeling" in the front end on acceleration and turns. I think the tie rods are good, had them done 2 years ago.
