Denver69 10 Report post Posted May 24, 2009 Did you get your steering figured out? I've just replaced all the suspension and steering components on my car and it still wanders a little. Like your friend, I'm wondering if it could be the tires? Did a different alignment help? Thanks for your help. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Justafordguy 10 Report post Posted May 25, 2009 I have tried everything on mine and is still wanders a little. I think it may be the tires also. I have 275/40/17s on the front and I wonder if they are just too wide for this old style suspension? Anyone else running wide tires on the front and a good handling car?
