Agree with the tire pressure advice...but don't underestimate wind. Even on a not-so-windy day, highway traffic can cause some bizarrely powerful crosswinds.

If the pressure thing isn't it, check to see if you've dropped a wheel weight.

I have had the floating effect on the S02's and more noticeably on my Yokahama's

Thanks a lot guys I emptied the tires to 32 psi some even had 42 psi the car rides great and handels like a new car but i did not go over 65 mph but it feels a lot different.

all tire's were checked cold

Ok heres a second problem I have well when I hit bumps I would have a rattle (really loud) coming from the pass side seat area well ever since this has occurd the pass seat is extremely hard to adjust like u cant even do it while your sitting i have to get out of the car and put a decent amount of muscle into it. The seat was never like this untill the rattle started.

should i start a new thread on the rattle??


later

Sounds to me like you have a coin or something similar that has falen down into the seat rails - this would cause a rattle and make the seat hard to adjust. Alternatively a retaining bolt may have come loose for some reason.

It might be the seat belt buckle hitting the side panel. Hook it up and see what happens.
