..Cars feels like its floating..

[Annoying Eric]

Well here is my problem, I will try to explain it as best as i could so bare with me.. Ok everytime i turn my car it feels like the front is floating but not floating from like bad wheel alignment:

Example: Ever take a turn to fast and you lose traction and your car starts to like spin out..

My car feels like that even when im turning in first gear. I dunno if i explained it good.. But i have no clue what the problem, I dunno if its the sway bars, or maybe the bushings or even my wheels, Cause my wheels are old and shot, almost no thread left.. I have brand new wheels waiting to go on, There from my old 240 parts car, They were actually BRAND new..

So has anyone had this happen to them, if so help me out. Thanks alot

is your car moving up and down through the turn?

do you have any suspension or chassis modifications? Or is this all stock? It's probably just a combination of: big tire sidewalls (and sidewall flex), soft springs and dead shocks, and skanky bushings. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/hehe.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':hehe:'> &nbsp;I can't imagine what else it could be, unless you've got messed up tie rods or something like that.

don't forget open diff, nothing helps unintentionally bringing the ass around like an open diff

most likely your front sway bar. &nbsp;jack up your car and inspect the endlinks and bushings. &nbsp;after I installed my coilovers, it really felt like my car was floating side to side under hard cornering... my stock swaybar bushings fell to pieces when I took the endlinks off..lol. &nbsp;If you dont have the money for aftermarket swaybars, you can always go to pepboys and buy poly-urethane endlink bushings.

after I put on front and rear whiteline swaybars... I just pointed the car and it went. &nbsp;like on rails. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

I'd have to agree and say its probably sidewall flex.
