I have only had my car about 3 months and driven it less than 1,000 miles. The car has Steeda shocks and linear lowering springs, everything else stock.
I have noticed the "dartiness" or what feels almost like torque steer but not through the steering wheel. Basically when on the highway under power, every bump or dip in the road causes the car to veer off track, the steering wheel ALWAYS reacts to everything, and I feel like I am constantly sawing at the wheel to make the car run straight or where I want. Good way to describe it is say I am in a turn on the highway, under at least half throttle, I hit a dip in the road, the steering wheel goes LIGHT for a second as the suspension compresses, which makes ME now steer incorrectly since just second prior I had the right amount of tension on the wheel to go the direction I wanted. Now suddenly with the wheel lighter in feel, I caused the car to oversteer and have to correct. Then the car recovers from the dip and steering goes stiff again, AGAIN I oversteer since I had just corrected from the lighter wheel feel. I am not talking about like 1ft dips I am talking small changes, maybe a 4-6" dip in the road.
Same kind of feeling happens when the tires start tracking in the ruts of the road. This I am used to happening, but the same steering wheel issue happens, causing me to really swerve around as I go on and off the ruts in the road.
Also say I am rowing through the gears 1-2-3, after every hard shift the car usually makes a hard left or right pull once the power comes back after the shift, causing me to serve back.
Is all this normal and innate to the s550 platform?
