Lite Front End

[bronze93]

The front end of the GTP feels like it is floating when I'm driving it. I just replaced the outer tie rods and had an alignment done. Could it be tire sidewall sway? The tires on there are junk with sidewall dry rot. Any help appreciated. Thanks

Well you say your tires are junk, and I'd guess that your struts are 16 years old now. So maybe start with struts?

the struts were bad on my lumina and hitting bumps over 35mph resulted in an almost perpetual up and down bounce, especially on the freeway.

The struts appear to be good. I tested them by pushing up and down on the fenders. I feels almost like driving a car with no sway bar.

How are the sway bar bushings? I'm going to go with bad tires. Don't ever underestimate tires.

considering they are the only part of a vehicle to tough the road(normally), a LOT of issues could be caused by them.

End links ok? Is the sway bar good... I have had one Break lol!

No end links on 1st gens. Just bushoings bolted directly to the control arm.

you know, Having replaced them on two 95's, 89, and a 96. You would think i would know that LOL!

Well I may have a starting point over than tires for this problem. The PO decided I only needed 1 of the 2 bolts for the back of the subframe. I will have to check for more missing bolts.
