My Car is All Over the Road!

[Blackened300a]

For the Past few weeks I have noticed that my MM Doesnt Handle Like it did When I first got it. Im actually not as confident as I was to take it over 100mph
The Car Feels loose around turns, and the there is very little feedback from the steering wheel so It feels like Im oversteering.
I have done the Following checks:

Tire PSI- 40
Shock Test- No Bounce on all 4 corners
Rear Air Bag Check- No leaks or Cracks, Compressor working fine
Front End Check- All Bushings and Tie Rods are good and tight.
Sway bar links- All Tight and strong
Rear Stabilizer- Tight, Rubbers Are good, no sway.

The Only thing I can figure it to be is the fact that my steering doesnt feel like it gets harder at higher speeds. My Friends Lincoln LS feels very tight and Firm. But Would this make my Car feel like its out of control???

Thanks for any info

Have you been to the track lately?

My friend went to the track, and with his DR's and hard launches, bent the rear control arms and brackets. He felt like he was tracking down the road sideways.

Just a thought. Maybe you need some bushings replaced or something.

How many miles on your front tires?

I think for the best high speed handleing, may want to try the factory suggested tire pressure.35 psi FT & 35 psi Rear
Thier is a SSM on the Variable rate steering not increasing assist under ten MPH.
My car has the same steering resistance from crawling speed to god speed.

alignment. My car did the same thing, took it in and fixed.

I might as well make the cerimonial link to alignment specs:

Thanks for all your suggestions

I havent been to the track but Im sure the Rear Sway bars and bushings are good. I Havent felt my steering get any harder at higher speeds so I plan to have the taken care of. Alignment may be the issue here, Ill look into that

Thanks Again

Caster gives high speed stability. You could have lost some caster. Toe out will "slow" a vehicle when turning. In other words, it doesn't turn as quick (generally speaking). You may have more toe out. It could be both. It also could be some loss of power steering.
