my ls does the same thing and it also scares me a bit, i am taking mine in for allignment next week

 

i really wouldnt be to worried about it like i said above there considered as sports cars there not ment to drive smoth, my mom went from a 2002 acrod ex to a 2000 prelude she couldnt handle how hard the lude drove, she was so low she felt everything and didnt like it. but ken hit that bump doing 50 that had to have throughn something off.

 

yeah, i dont think it is anything major, most likley the allignment job will fix it. i do pull to the right, my 93 ls did the same thing, just never got around to getting it alligned

 

LOL i had the same problem with my 94 LS i let it go so long that i didnt notice then when i went to sell it the lady that first test drove it thought there was somethign wrong with the car, so had to go get a alignment lol... but gsr is good i can let go of the wheel for serveral minutes and steer with my knee if i need to ( i dont recomend this though very dangerous :irock: )

 

hey if you hit a deep pot hole at 50, you may have broken a suspension piece.lift each front side of the car,one side then the other.then holding the tire at 3 and9 oclock and then noon and 6,try to rock the tire back and forth.the wheel should be tight not give much at all.if it moves/gives alittle rock the tire with one hand and feel behind with the other.feel the tire rods,ball joints,inner outer upper lower,control arm bushings!while rocking look behind give a good visual inspection of whats going on.do the otherside.wash your hands.get back to me,and we can go from there.

by the way i changed my oil today since the weather was nice for a change and i checked my right side cv joint. I noticed that my cv boot was torn

 

ewww thats not good especially if it was fine before you hit that bump. i would get that checked out fast. well of course im sure you where going to but OUCH

 

ready for sum more bad news. ok so i followed ur instructions (including washing my hands) Mark and there was no rocking, so i jacked up the car and checked both sides out since the sun was still out and here are my finishing. right side outer cv joint has a torn boot. right side inner cv joint has NO boot. the right side alignment dips inward. and the left side seems fine except for a lito bit of a misalignment.

 

Seems like your camber is off. (alighnment)

Im going to say that you tires are pretty low profile (50series)
I have 40 series on my car and when I go over bumps my car gets kinda loose. Its just the tires, they may be overfilled or there low.

Also lower profile tires seem to follow cracks in the roads. When the road gets uneven in my car the car seems to ride over to where the road goes.
Like say the road is being worked on and the road gets lower in/near the middle. If I go over that little lump my car will pull to that area and then straighten out.

Does that make sense. Also jack up your car and check for loose bolts. Swap bars, struts, even the rims

 

good to hear,airborn
