Hey everyone,
I recently slapped on some new rubber on my 04 TL (michelin pilot sport a/s) and did an alignment at the same time. Ever since it seems the handling is wayyy off. When I go over a slight bump on the road it seems like im going to lose control of the rear becuase it seems to wiggle side to side. Also I live in a snowy area and if there is some snow on the ground, even if i'm going 30mph (60kmh) it feels like the rear of the car is going to swing out!
Is this a suspension issue? Alignment issue? Anything else possible?
Thanks for your help.

When they did the alignment did they give you a paper showing the settings? I wonder if the toe in isn't way off.

I put CT springs and a CT swaybar on my '05 a few months ago. Had it aligned at " a dealer", not Acura unfortunatley. The rear end is all over the place in the rain or in the snow. Or if you hit an uneven spot in the road or a bump. The dry weather handling is great other than that. If you are having this problem too, I have to beleive it is the aligment. I am taking mine to the dealership Monday to get this fixed. It is so bad, I won't let ANYONE drive my car if it is raining. I'll let you know.

That would be my first guess.

Got the alignment done and it was way off! The rear was toe'd in 2 degrees on both sides and it was causing the rear to fight back and forth. The camber is slightly off because of being lowered, but no way to adjust this... and not needed from what I've read. The car handles so much better and feels much more stable. It is like a different car completely. Go get that thing aligned!

I'm having the issues but I can't find a decent place to do an allignment. It'll feel good for a couple days, maybe a week, then go back to its old habits.

Always get your car aligned if you lower it (even if its barely lowered at all) NO MATTER WHAT.
