Steering Stability

[Batmobile_Engage]

have you hit anything lately?

LOL I knew someone would ask. No, I haven't hit anything.

However, in September, I moved from Key West, FL to Canton, MI
and drove the whole way. Some of the roads were absolutely horrible,
especially once getting into Michigan.

The reason I first took it in for an alignment was I figured, with all
the miles of bumps the car took on the drive, maybe a camber bolt had
slipped or something.

Anti-Lift kit.

 

[Batmobile_Engage]

Anti-Lift kit.

Ahhh okay, hahahahaha my bad... nope, no Anti-Lift Kit.

Did you try re-adjusting the dampers yet?

 

[Batmobile_Engage]

Not yet, it may be a while. I have very, very little space to work on the car at my apartment.
And I have to put it up on jack stands for that.

Furthermore, it's freezing out there...

 

[Grinder34]

Jack stands to adjust the stiffness? Isnt there just a knob?!

 

[Batmobile_Engage]

Yes, there is but if the weight of the car is sitting on the suspension, it can be difficult to
turn them or at very least, is difficult to tell if you have reached the end of the adjustment
(low or high end).
I put it up on jack stands, and dial the shocks all the way down to full soft, then count the
number of wrench turns toward stiff.

 

[finallymysti]

He's not on coilovers. Only adjustable shocks so no corner balancing.

 

[finallymysti]

its just n adjustable damper with no adjustmen springwise

 

[finallymysti]

but yor corner balance is a good idea. to the op, check an make sure the springs are seated properly

 

[Batmobile_Engage]

I checked the springs, and I will check them again when I can, just in case.

Correct, no spring adjust, just adjustable damping on the rebound.

 

[finallymysti]

something that may be kind of a bad idea but could just be crazy enough to work. would be to drive over some really rough jarring stuff and see if that fixes it since you said it started happening after a long drive over very bad pavement. it may shake something right

 

[Batmobile_Engage]

^ sadly.......I've tried this. LMAO

UPDATE: This past Saturday, I adjusted the rear shocks to what I think are even settings. I took it for a drive and it seemed to help a little bit. I should have
taken it out on the interstate and got up to 75-80mph where I really notice it. Later that day, I put my new wheels on with brand new blizzak snow tires.
It seems even better with this setup, though once again, I should have taken it out on the interstate to see for sure.

I've got a 5 hour drive ahead of me this weekend to head back home for Christmas. After that, I'll update again and let you know how it's driving.

Thanks again for the help everyone!
