Most noticeable when you hit a square-edged bump, like a bridge expansion joint. Feels like the car does a sidestep of about an inch. Haven't looked to deep into it yet, but all I've found so far is that one tie rod end has a very small amount of play.

Steering control loss over bumps on expressway... - allroadadi 2016-04-25 19:07:22 (321 views)
- In my experience this was always a sympton of worn out shocks. - kinderutz 2016-04-25 21:17:22 (178 views)
  - I got 5 year olds Bilisteins from Arnott on both fronts and Arnott gen 1 air springs on both fronts - allroadadi 2016-04-26 14:18:28 (183 views)
  - 2nd. More pronounced if 402'd - Nogaro Nitwit 2016-04-26 07:29:08 (184 views)
    - No 402, I wanted to do it, but my compressor was 'tired'...I replaced the piston ring recently - allroadadi 2016-04-26 14:30:06 (166 views)
  - This is also my experience. However, do you also now have one arnott and one factory on the front? - toms73novass 2016-04-26 06:43:35 (174 views)
    - Both air springs are Arnott, gen 1, but passenger side has the aluminum top(replaced 2010) - allroadadi 2016-04-26 14:20:59 (176 views)

  - Need an alignment. These cars are very sensitive to rear toe angle changes. - silva 2016-04-25 21:09:43 (229 views)
    - This. - Daveykid 2016-04-25 22:31:08 (221 views)
      - Yeah, alignment is first on the list - Andy FitzGibbon 2016-04-26 06:42:42 (176 views)
      - I don't know, I have three cars and the allroad is the only one that is aligned right...  -  allroadadi  2016-04-25 23:38:18 (213 views)
        
        What tires do you have on the car?   -  trg  2010-03-28 05:13:18 (184 views)
        
        Still got the winter wheels on till May; double spoke with winter tires Dunlop m3 IIRC   -  allroadadi  2016-04-26 14:10:47 (164 views)
        
        ...and what tire pressures are you running? My car has always been sensiti to underinflation as well   -  Econguy  2016-04-26 13:41:16 (178 views)
        
        34 psi all around ....I do have one tire in the back on passenger side that looses very little air  -  allroadadi  2016-04-26 14:13:43 (191 views)
        
        Isn't 34 psi a bit lower than factory spec?   -  TwinTurboTerror  2016-04-26 14:17:56 (164 views)
        
        The door sticker says 32 psi... I usually don't have cargo in the back...  -  allroadadi  2016-04-26 14:25:01 (178 views)
        
        I've always found that keeping it closer to the max pressure on the sticker got better results...  -  trg  2016-04-26 17:13:31 (172 views)
        
        39/42 is what I inflate my tires to, as that's what the door sticker says.   -  TwinTurboTerror  2016-04-27 09:41:03 (182 views)
        
        Consider bumping it up a little. I run between 36 and 38 depending on season and it's a slotcar  -  Econguy  2016-04-26 15:10:43 (189 views)
