handling isuue

i have a 05 tl 6 speed, steering wheel feels light and loose, felt like it has no pressure holding on to the steering. when going over bumpy roads and grooves, it twitches pretty hard to the left and right, alot of feedback from the wheel to the steering, especially on uneven pavement, it just follows the road imperfection

is this a common problem?


here's some works i have done: suspensions, 6 front lower control arm bushings, 2 rear control arms, tires and rims, alignment, no improvement, if anyone here is having the same issue or might know the solution to this, please help~

Have you checked your power steering fluid level? Was the power steering hose recall done?

thanks for the response, yes i did check the power steering fluid from time to time, it looks fine with no leaking or anything, power steering hose recall was done a week ago, but no improvement with handling

can you get the alignment specs that the car currently has? (they put it on the machine and it tells you the alignment settings that it currently has, and what the acceptable range should be. It's a printout they give you. Also what tires are on the car? Air pressure? Miles on them?

thanks for the response csmeance, im on yokohama avs es100 tires with aspec rims, tire sizes r 235/40z r18 95w, it has about 50% thread left, about 20k miles on them, all tires n rims were checked before i put on the car, no bulge dents or damages, using nitrogen air 35lbs front and 32lbs rear.

alignment setting for toes are .02 front and .07 rear which is within factory spec range, rear right camber is -1.8 off by .03 (factory spec -1.5) which is the only thing "red" showing on the reciept

i was running on stock tires rims and suspension when i had this problem, i thought it was the rims and tires or suspension causing the bad handling so i went and changed them all, i even changed all front 6 bushings for the front lower control arms and 2 rear control arms before doing the alignment, problem still exist.....
