Drunk Supra

[fiyota]

Well my car likes to wander... say if i'm in the left side of the lane it will start to vear to the left, or if i'm in the right side it will start heading off to the right. So I'm assuming this means something is worn out. My tires are almost dead (squeezing every last day out of em untill i can order my 5zigen's and rubber)... But could worn out tires cause this? I'm thinking it's more along the lines of suspension being shot? Any ideas? The car rides smooth and everything, but bumps can be a little harsh, and it is stock suspension...

Any help would be greatly appreciated guys!

well lets see. could be a worn suspension, might just need an alignment. how flat are the roads there? some of ours around here have a bad habit of being banked left and right, being highest in the center. most of the time, i notice my supra tracking left and right due to this, but occasionally i've needed an alignment.

I'd bring it in for an alignment, and have them check all the arms for worn bushings. I'd imagine the toe control rod bushings could use replacement, as that's the problem in my subaru, and i have similar problems...

Hmm, my Subaru kinda does that, I should have it checked out...

Could be as simple as road crown(if the highest point is the center of the lanes), But wouldnt hurt to look it over, see if it has that problems on a particular road or all the time.

Subaru's have extremely soft bushings from the factory, swaq... at least legacy's...
I'd get it checked, but for the most part, a little wandering you just gotta deal with.
I basically have to stay out of the right lane on well traveled highways as the ruts worn into the road surface is a constant battle.

I wonder if that's part of the reason my Subaru suddenly yanked sideways when I was driving on snow once... I'll send you a PM to keep from hijacking this thread, heh.

could be broken belt or could be much worse.... do yourself a favor and take it to a front end place and get it evaluated/fixed soon, you can analyze it a bit yourself. Jack up both front tire (use stands please) and have a buddy move the steering wheel hard back and forth, look for play in the suspension components. This kind of stuff is potentially dangerous to let go, especially with high mileage vehicles
