How many miles on car. Like Nick said check the center link. Take the car to a good shop and have front end inspected. Make sure they check center link, idler arm all tierods and ball joints. make sure control arm bushings are not worn. make sure they check ride height also. Check gear box for play also.

At that few miles check the date code on the tires, they may not be safe if older than 5-6 years?

That some low miles but the parts can still be worn. get it inspected. May just need an alignment.

Alignment is important. Make sure that there is a decent amount of positive caster. This provides high speed stability. At least 3 - 4 *'s worth.

+2 on the tires, ask me how I know...

 

[charlief1]

Tires maybe depending on the size. Lack of caster is another one. If the car hasn't been aligned lately I'd say have it done but before you do read this. All of it so you have a better idea of what you need before you get it done.

my Celebrity must be a rolling time bomb- i know for a fact that the front tires are at least 14 years old and the rears at least 20.. no cracks or bulges and the car drives like a brand new car..

Sometimes tires dry rot from the inside, so you see no evidence untill they go BOOM!

check the DOT number thats how you tell the date
