I understand that if he was tracking down a high speed vibration problem for a customer he would call the local RCMP to let them know he was going for a rip! :)

Yeas ago I lived in a small town in Manitoba. the local alignment guy would take your car for a highway run before and after the alignment to be sure he resolved any issues. He took the time to check his work!

Also usually get an alignment every year. However most techs seem to just worry about everything being in the green and not with how the car actually drives! This time i was able to get the alignment tech to listen to my problems and he was creative in addressing it.

UPDATE: After getting input on this forum I went back to my alignment guy (same shop that did the lowering springs for me 2 years ago) and discussed the problems I was having. He suggested doing a realignment but using a less aggressive tow than recommended (but still within the specs). In...

Please add Howard and Brenda for the Run and the Supper! Thanks!

Thanks everyone for your input and suggestions! It helps when chasing ghosts in the machine! It will be a process of eliminating issues and maybe trying new things. Although I would rather just be having fun driving!

Thinking maybe the lowering of the car is not the problem (at least on its own). In a previous discussion I started Sept 30th 2019 titled "Bump Steer Kit -- a Good Idea?" (previous to any lowering) I was asking input on bump steer kits as a way to address the same issue. The question I asked was...

Think I might pull off the Strut Tower brace.....not that much work...and see if that makes things tamer.

I added a strut tower brace couple years ago too! Too many changes maybe!

I had the Pilots on a year to 18 months before I did the lowering springs.

Do tire sidewalls get stiffer with age? My Michelin Pilot Sports (stock size) were better ride than my older tires they replaced.

Again...thanks for the clarification. Wish I could find a custom shop here that did more than just read the manuals for specs to set.

Thanks for clarifying for me!

Think tires are good. Put Michelin Pilot Sports.on 3 years ago...at lease were good before lowering.

Feel like I am fighting with it all the time. Have redone alignment twice thinking that might be it but no help. Shops around here only seem to know what the stock manuals tell them.

Yes. Eibach struts and shocks. In what way did sway bars help?

After 2 years of driving on the lowered springs I am seriously considering returning it to stock., Like the look of lowered ride and the lowering springs make it tighter in the corners. However the roads are so patched around here that the ride is almost intolerably rough. As well the stang...

Finally sold it locally!

Alot of negative press on the Pinto bomb! It was my first car and actually I never had any issues with it. It was the first car that started me customizing because it was such a Plain Jane! Pic seems like eons ago...me and my girlfriend (later became my wife).
