it could be an alignment issue, but it doesnt really sound like one. most alignment issues are figured out by the car severly drifting to one side or the other while holding the steering wheel straight. does it tend to jerk to one side when you step on the gas from a full stop or does it do it randomly?Eric Johnson

i had a problem were the car would "walk" or wallow from one side to another at high rate of speed. hope that makes sense. i guess it sounds like what you are describing. it felt like the car would lean to one or the other side, back and forth. i don't even remember how i solved it. but i think it was the tires wearing out unevenly. i think it went away after rotation and ballance.<B>Dima</B>

awsome . well i just talked to someone on msprotege.com and they said it might be something called bumper steer. i have the link at home .. ill post the article when i get there so you can tell me what you think . it sounds like exactly what is happening with my car. i am also goin to look into checkin the wear on my tires when i get home also to make sure it isnt something with that ...
thanks for all the help .i just hope if anything the dealership can fix it .
i am only scared bc i dont want the dealership to damnage my body kit or the led kit underneath my car. if i tell them that there is work done to my car they are responsible to any damnages right ?

yeah the dealership could be responsible for it, so before they do work on your car you either have to waive responsibility or they just wont work on the car.Eric Johnson
