Default Swaying

My car sways... i mean literally SWAYS... when i hit about 70+ mph. i checked the air in my tires and its not that. i don't think its the balance or alignment because that just makes ur steering wheel shake, right? someone suggested that it may be my body kit collecting air pockets underneath the car... wut do yall think?

Sounds like the alignment to me. Bring it to a shop and have the front end aligned.

Did you replace the struts when you lowered your car?

If not you should probably do that.

Have the shop check your alignment and wheel balancing, if those are not the culprit, check the ball joints, tie-rod ends and the rack ends. Is there any slack in the steering?:hmmm:

i don't remember if there's any slack in the steering... i haven't driven my car in 4 weeks... :depressed:

once i get it back i'll get it checked... i might also just have the dealership check it while its there since they're reinstating my warranty... i'd say that should be under warranty, what do u think?
