Ive had this problem for awhile now my suspension is fucked up some how, ive had eibach lowering springs put on with steeda caster/cam plates and tokico 5ways my car has been aligned and wheels balanced, the car pulls madly to the right and when im making a turn if i hit a bump the car just like hops to the side.

the other day i was shifting into 3rd and hit a bump at the sametime and it wouldnt let me go into 3rd i tried again after i hit the bump and it went in. The motor mounts and tranny mounts have been checked by 3 places and are fine.

WHAT COULD THE PROBLEM BE? THANX FOR THE HELP IN ADVANCE

Put more air in the right tire. Like 40 pound son teh right and 20 pounds on the left. that will temp fix it.
Do you have a bump stir kit?

well the going to the right doesnt bother me too much since my hands always on the wheel, but another thing is the wheel is easier to turn to the right and it seems to be alil tighter when i try turning the wheel to the left???

Whatever the problem is its messing with the tranny too?? ive been trying to find this problem forever been to many shops no results ANY ideas of what i can check let me know thanx

--Do you have polyurethane offset rack bushings??(unless they are solid aluminum bushings they will twist in the rack)...Check and make sure your steering rack is tight....How low is your car??..If its more than a 2" drop I would get a bump steer kit...

Do you have the print out of the last alignment.
Like what the camber was left side to right side
and what the cross caster was from side to side.
