Hi all

i need opinions on why my delsol is tracking over grooves in the road?

My car tends to follow grooves in the road. It does it at high speeds and at low speeds.

Anyone have any insight as to what may be causing this?

Setup:
Concept 5 17"
lowered, King springs about 1.5" all round
Stock shocks for now.

Also note, the car tracked over grooves and bumps before i even went to larger rims and lower suspension.

The steering feels very light!
Any ideas?

Try jumpn' on the freeway to see if it does it there,or jump in your boys ride on the same road to see if his does it. If it still does it make sure your lugs are tight and inspect the front end for worn parts.

I thought that was natural, especially with wider tires. It always seemed like all my cars have done that at one time or another....

JohnZM is pretty knowledgable about tires, he may be a good person to ask.

I heard the samething and experienced it over the years. Most of the time it's the groves in the road that cause it to happen.

Yes, but is this normal?
