Okay so I just finished installing my spings and struts and everything rides fine but everytime i take a turn it just sounds it it is about to lose itself (sounds like I am drifting). Even at 20 MPH the easiest turn yields ear aching noise and not to mention the attention of other people who are there they think that I am driving too fast and they keep thinking that I will crash into them. What is up? Sometimes it still makes noises on straight aways? I don't see any rubbing so what could be causing that? I know I need an alignment but the alignment doesn't look to be off by much justa little bit of negative camber in the front and some postive in the rear. O yeah I forgot to mention what my setup was; 17 inch wheels with 225 45zr 17 tires, intrax uncut w/ monroe sensatracs on my 92, adjustable mounts in the front and new mounts for the rear I didn't get a chance to replace any busings yet, because I don't have the cash, could that be the problem? Thanks for the help

you do have sway bars on the car, right? Also, what kind of 17 inch tires do you have? Tires are easily 50% of the traction equation.

yes the sway bars are on both front and rear and the tires are Kumhos supras ecsta and the car ran fine with them on and the stock suspension so I don't think that the tires are at fault. It just really sucks because I have to take turns really slow just to keep things quiet. Thanks

I haven't gotten it aligned yet because I am waiting for some adjustable rear control arms so i don't have to go to the alignment shop twice. I guess the excess toe might be to blame. Thanks

take a tape measure, measure front from center tread to center tread and rear same way, you can at least get it close... should be about 1/4" more on the front side than the rear

Thanks a lot shotime1979 you were right I had some mess up toe like over an inch less in the front but now I got it adjusted better and the tires only screech a little bit as compared to before. Thanks again.
