yesterday i was dirving home from work. it wassnowing out and it was 1/2 melted. i drive a 93 gs. it feels like a really hard vibration but it also kicks left and right when i hit the water.. i got really good all season tires on the rear, the only thing i can thin of is maybe my sturts are messed up( but why does it shift) or maybe a sway bar or someting... help me out u suspension gurus...

youre hydroplanning, it doesnt help if you got snow tires, studs, etc. it happens to my mx3 all the time when theres too much water on roads, also my front wheels spin one at a time sometimes going down the road.

its not hyrdoplaing, it a violent shift from left to right also i notice my car is taking bumps way to hard.. hmm maybe putting those 4cyl struts in was a bad idea

side wall flex + hydroplane? is your car lowered? maybe your riding on bumpstops.
