Front end alignment? Unbalanced wheel? Steering rack on the way out?

Gravel road :rofl:

When mine was doing it, a tyre balance sorted it out to be about 90% better. The steering rack fixed it completely.

Couldn't help myself. As someone who does a lot of high speed work on gravel, I notice that my steering shakes when I'm on gravel. :p That might just be the road surface and not the car though. :rolleyes:

yeah... thats a wheel alignment for ya... you wont notice it at low speeds but at higher speeds it makes a HUGE diffrence, before i got mine aligned i was doing 90 on a narrow country road and it was scary i tell you that...

after the alignement... it was perfect...

wheel alignments arnt expensive

yep, my last one was about 30 bucks. Previous owner (my grandpa) had never done it - it still hade the original tyres, and it has the camber of a circuit racer. The tires were so worn on the inside it wasnt funny...
