Hey everyone,
My '22 GT feels like it's going to steer itself out of the lane on the highway or over bumps.
Here's the backstory- Just finished up installation of the BMR street K member. Also did motor mounts, camber plates, and headers at the same time. Car is lowered an inch on steeda springs and pro-action shocks/struts. IRS has solid bushings, toe links, vertical links, and solid diff bushings.
So after the car is back together, the alignment is wayyy out of whack as I expected it would be. I performed a garage alignment with final specs of 2-2.5deg neg camber (this is the closest I can get to my desired 1-1.5 deg without camber bolts) and .2 deg total toe in. Problem is the car is darty, it tramlines like crazy, and over bumps or any suspension swings it wants to change direction without warning. Same wheels and tires as before- velgen vf5 with 265/35 front and 295/35 rear Kumho Ecsta PS91.
So far I've tried the following with no luck-
-Checked steering shaft connection for play
-Checked end links and all control arm connections for play
-Checked Kmember mounting points for tightness
-Double checked alignment specs
-Checked steering rack mounting bolts for tightness
-Check strut and camber plate mounting points for tightness.
Also, I used the upper hole on the K member for the control arm since the car is dropped 1.25". Could that be my issue? It's probably the only thing I haven't played with yet.
Any suggestions to me from becoming a mustang in the ditch statistic? TIA
