I'll take a video next time I ride anywhere with him, and you'll see.
Then you'll ask, "How does he NOT hit a curb at 50?!"
By the way, how do you have such a long signature? I can only fit ½ of my mods in my sig with it all abbreviated.

i made it back in 07 before they had a limit on sig size i tried to edit it the other day but it wouldn't let me have it as long as i wanted it so i just left it lol

you're not supposed to put lug nuts on with impact. Maybe that's part of a problem

this is definitly not the problem. you could have a shifted belt in your tire.

i just finished swapping my ze in for a second time. and the car sat for almost two yrs before this so i take it out for a test drive and the front end feels like its going to fall off the car. i found out it was a flat tire(i pumped it up before i went out it just went down that fast) so i get a new tire on it and it still does it ... turns out one of the shocks was not all the way tightened. i take it out again and it is still happening. what could be causing this?

the drivers rear strut is completely gone but i had my buddy stick his head out the window and said the pass front wheel is wobbling so much it looks like its going to come off. when i jack it up there is no play whatsoever im lost as to what this could be any help would be great

EXTREMLY! Unbalanced wheels.

[projectzemx3]

well a unbalanced wheel will still spin and look smooth, it will just vibrate at higher speeds. a shifted belt will give you a deformed tire that you could see was wobbling.

mooneggs .... how the [heck] did you hit a curb at fifty?!?!?

it was a failed moment in my mx-3 career... went into a turn to an onramp doing about 70 and my rear tires were pretty worndown ... rear end slid out from me (2rd time in an mx-3 on a real road), I countersteered but it wasn't enough and I went head on into the curbwith the wheel turned all the way sideways... it was amazing I didn't bend the rim but broke the control arm! anyways, this is the reason why I always keep my best tires on the rear now!!

BUT if I had been able to control it a little more it would have been THE sweetest drift ever in an mx-3

[Mx3Kid16]

ive seen that happen before. except it was in a galant with bald front tires. tried turning.. that didn't happen slid right into a curb and destroyed the control arm.

well like i said it cant be any thing with the rims or tires because i tried two different sets of rims and tires and still the same thing. im having some difficulty swapping out the struts in the rear ( darn lug nut wont come off so im buying a bigger impact wrench) but once i get those taken care of i will post with an update

Mooneggs that sounds like it would have been awesome had you just had some better tires. there is a turn in my town where you turn on to a bridge and it goes from asphalt to concrete, and my rear end always gets out when i hit that above forty ... it keeps it fun

here is the link to how messed up the strut was http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dC-tDlQFF-A" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Note the oblong shape where the piston goes into the strut ... thats why i think it was causing my problem. also just ignore my girlfriend and my dad talking in the back ground.(she was wearing clothes just not alot)

[Suresperance]

okay so all four corners have good stock struts and springs back on them the problem is still there but much smaller than before so i have two new questions

could a bad alignment cause it to shake that bad like im feeling?

and also when i parked the car two yrs ago i left out the brace that goes from the two front control arms and put it back in when i put the engine back in two weeks ago could this have any thing to do with it

im taking shots in the dark here

i took the car out a few months ago for one drive and it performed flawlessly so i wanna know what could have changed from then to now all i did was take the motor out and put it back in.

im so lost
