How to make it drive better

ShannonT · 11-05-2015, 03:30 PM

My 05 lifted ST just doesn't seem to be a good driver . Feels loose , not tight . Almost like it wants to wander around as we are driving . What would be some things to do for this ????????

Check the toe-in, front of front wheels should be 1/4" closer (pointed in) than the back of front wheels. Loosen
the lock nuts on the tierod ends (one is right hand thread one is left hand) and turn the tierod to adjust.

Thanks I'll give it a shot . I eve came up with a better description , a "darting tilt" when hitting bumps . Easily steered out of . Would shocks also help

The only shock I have replaced was leaking and I had many carts,
you have to be careful with lifted carts they aren't the safest and
that's why lift kits come with warning stickers.

Also too much tire pressure don't help with bumps, 6 to 8 lbs is good.
