Um....
Hopefully someone knows a litle about this. My '98 SE has developed a strange problem recently. About two weeks ago my friends and I removed my KYB AGX/Eibach springs combo and replaced them with the stock set up. Afterwards my steering has felt erratic and kind of as if it has a mind of it's own, but it's getting worse. I'm not sure if this has something to do with it or if it's juts a coincidence but I thought it would be worthwhile to mention.
Specifically, if I am driving in a straight direction at about 40mph or higher, I can jerk the wheel quickly to the left or right maybe about 1/4 of the way and the wheel will sort of compensate for this by itself and keep rocking back and forth, seriously it has done it for 10 seconds straight, left right left right left right etc....until I got scared. Also, if I am in a parking lot and turn the wheel all the way in either direction, the wheel will sort of stay like that without my help. As in, I can turn it all the way to the left and drive in a circle for an hour without touching the wheel. It takes a bit of effort to straighten it out.
Also I am getting the WORST wheelhop I've ever had in the car. I have the Energy Suspension mounts mounts set and this is worse than before with the stock mounts. I did a quick eyeball of the visible mounts in the engine bay and they appeared to be OK. Torque-steer in 1st gear is RIDICULOUS. I have trouble keeping the car on the road. And no I'm not making that much power, I only have bolt-ons and put down 146whp on the dyno.
Any ideas on WTF this is? Any help would be appreciated. It sometimes feels as if someone else is driving.
