Hey guys, pretty new to the Forums, although I did do my research throughout the forum and read similar issues before making this post. Clearly I couldn't find a proper answer. Anyways, I've got a 2015 Performance Pack GT with eibach sway bars, sportline springs, IRS subframe braces and k member brace. Now, there were no issues on any of these parts, I have driven 6k miles on them. This issue happened possibly after getting new tires installed in the rear.
When I go highway speeds, my steering seems like it's tougher to turn. Meaning, when there's a curve, it seems like the car wants to go straight instead of giving me support throughout the turn. It's almost like I have to force it to take the curve because it doesn't want to take it. Also, I don't know if this is related, but I started getting this problem at the same time; When I brake pretty moderately (not too light yet not bashing the pedal), my car pulls to the left when I brake from highway speeds. None of these issues are noticeable at lower speeds like 55mph and below. The car is a lot harder to control whenever steering input is required. I was spiritedly driving and noticed that when I make quick lane changes, the car pulls back on me. For example, say I'm making a quick lane change into the right lane, therefore, I steer right, and my steering pulls me back to the left. It's like the steering is saying "Nope, we're going to go back into the left lane we just came out of", and I have to force correct it. I did get an alignment done after two new rear tires, getting it rechecked in a few days due to this issue. I will post the alignment sheet below. Would this possibly be due to me running Pirelli PZERO Summer tires in front and Continental ExtremeContact DWS all seasons in the rear? (I had all season Pirelli zero in the rear and had no problem).
Really confused on why the car is acting this way. I played with the steering at highway speeds a little, gave it a little kick, and noticed the steering kicks back at me. if I give it a little push to the right, the steering pushes back to the left.
(Btw when balancing one of the rear continental tires, mechanic did mention it was just slightly out of round, not noticeable enough though)
Also, Am I supposed to be aligning my car back to "OE Specs" or the "Eibach Spring specs"?? really confused on this.
