need help...
hey guys i'm looking for someone who can help me with a suspension prob i'm having. Almost everytime i go around a corner a little fast or accelerate fast the whole front end of my civic shimmys around. Its stock suspension and i want to know if this is just an alignment prob or something worse. thanks

RE: need help...
not sure what ya mean about SHIMMYS around...
if the car wants to pull alittle when accelerating then its just the power from the motor cause its not a positrack, one wheels geting the power which can pull ya around alittle.
find a flat straight road and while driving kinda let go of the steering wheel... if it pulls over when ya let go then sounds like ya need a alignment. if it goes straight then its fine.... or maybe a tie rod is going bad and its poping around, it could drive straight sometimes and other times it could pop and throw your alignment off at times.
take it to a alignment shop and ask them for a free quote... and if they think its a alignment or a bad ball joint maybe.
i know my 94 civic has a bad tierod so it can sometimes pull over at times and drive straight at times.... but mines only slightly wore out. i had the alignment shop do their best....
