help needed.....
I've tried searching for the answer in our search engine and even reading through some older threads but i couldn't really find my answer, plus it's kind of a specific question...
I just got a hold of my new 92 RS, i got it from a kid out in west oakland and i don't think the car was very well taken care of, aside from a cheap paint job and a new radiator i don't think he did much to it.
I just installed some KYB GR2 and while i was doing it i was looking at the rest of the suspension and it looked fine... i drive over a mountain everyday to go to work and i take some curves a little hard and today i felt the car wabbling from side to side although no bouncing up and down, felt as if i had very little control of the car. I've had the car for about 2 1/2 weeks and it's the first time that ever happened... i remember looking at my sway bar and it was fine, no cracks or bends.
This is my 4th 3rd Gen and that never happened even though they were bone stock.
Steering brace,
frame conn. both coming soon, i just don't know if that will eliminate the wabbling from side to side... any ideas????

I would look over the endlinks for the swaybars to make sure the bushings are good, and they aren't bent.
If that checks out, look at the rest of the underside of the car for any damage....

ok... i checked the tranny mount and nothing seemed loose or wrong, i didn't have enough time due to my wife's company dinner, but the weekend's here and i'm gonna check it sat. morning.
I also forgot to mention that, the previous struts and shox are KONIS and i only swaped the front two due to leaking problem.
I think (and they feel like) that the rear konis are still in very good condition, but could that be a problem??? ( i don't see how it could be but than again, everythings possible)
thanx alot for all your ideas.
