ok, sooooo, on my way back from Jeffs tonight,
there is this off-ramp (45mph limit) with all new asphalt and nice and all and i decided to push it a bit. i was going through at a bit over 100mph and the car was sticking well and all, no under- or oversteer, no sliding, BUT the front suspension felt somehow wooble-y. i sort of had to do this (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (not that extreme mind you) as the car was slightly rocking. weirdly enough it didn't feel unsafe as the tires were sticking. what is that? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) could it be the sidewalls flexing? i'm running 225/50x15 on 7" rims. shocks toast? (did the push down test which they passed). comments are apprechiated, Andy |
