Buddy Club Racing Spec set to '4' out of '16'...

The A-arms were replaced due to rust freezing them solid... 3 years in Boston salty winters did a wonderful job on my undercarriage.

Macgyver, I feel your pain! I have the same darn thing happening to mine, very twitchy at high speeds, very tight a slow speeds, seems like it's coming from the right rear more than the left. I too have had it on the rack and aligment is perfect...but if it's a bent strut it'll still align up and you wouldn't know it.
Now that Treedriver mentioned a bent strut I'll have it checked out. On our last group drive I did some "off-roading" and I'll bet anything I bent a strut...
When I get my bent rim back from Turbax this week I'll take it back into Fournier's Automotive, they are great there, I'm sure that'll be it. I'll keep you posted.

Please do... I have mixed feelings about Fournier's, but I'm willing to give them another shot. Nick highly recommended them to me, but I couldn't get them to call be back as promised. After a few phone calls like that I gave up and had the dealership take care of it.

Hey - keep your undercarriage to yourself.

I have an appt. for next Tuesday with a local frame shop to check the frame and struts for ****age...

For the third month in a row I found a screw in a tire... luckily this one was 1/4" and never punctured.
