Still does it after the swap back too Bilsteins. I will throw the car in a cliff.
Bizarre that it tends to be normal when temperature are high.
When it's cold as in lower 30 it does it more. Also more whennpressure is low 30, less if 40+
I give the tires one more week and burn them alive if nothing changes.

well heres part of the reason why man, air pressure in tires expand and contract with ambient temps in hotter temps, the tire pressure expands a lot more, iirc its a couple lbs of air per 10* of temperature outside. So on a colder day the air wont expand as much in the tires, so thats why I switched to nitrogen in my tires, it doesnt react that way to the tire, temperature and altitude arent affected by it. 35 psi goes in, you can go to the desert or up to the mountains check the pressure again and its at 35psi. If it dont work just keep the tires make a tire swing out of them or somethin haha

Hi poloturbo, like i talked to you yesterday when i bought your turbo and wing i have the same problem. I don't think the cause of this is your sumimoto tires i running Yokohama Avid envigor that i really can't call crappy tire and sidewall are pretty stiff since i'm running 235 45 17 on a 17x9 wheel. But i did notice that when it is hotter the car seem to wiggle less. So i'll check y tires pressure and raise it a few pounds.
By the way do you have a rear strut towerbar?

Thanks for all your help. The problem is still there and I thought it was the tires and it isn't...
The bushings are taking a bit more time to arrive soo I'll change that and report back. I recheck EVERYTHING and theres almost nothing as of loose. This is the most annoying problem I had on a car and I can't seem to find it.
Ddb said that he change the bushings and did'nt help.
It's also time consuming and when working I don't have time too alway's check that.
I'll go by step because I don't have a week of to lose like the other week.
Bushings
Bearings
joints

FINALLY
After all the trouble and everything and time lost I finally got the car dialed.
The problem was
1st: Tire Squirm for at least 700-1000 miles at very low temperature.
2sd: 2 bads alignments by two supposely good places.
My own friend took is time after work and hes family garage business to align the car for the third time and NO MORE PROBLEMS.
He said it was WAYYYYYY of.
For future reference get THE BEST ALIGNMENT place in the world first and don't buy cheap *** tires.
My car is back and I feel good.

I have the exact same issue. I know that my front toe is wayyyyy off. I am waiting on new inner tie rods, and I ordered the whiteline center roll adjustment. I will be getting a GOOD alignment, and using the new inner tie rods and whiteline kit. Hopefully will fix my issue, I will post an update once I get the car out of the shop
