Car loses composure on the freeway

So yea, the Talon is starting to feel... swayee... on the freeway. It sorta feels like it is really windy out or something. Im not to sure what to point the fingure at so I was hopeing somone might know what Im talking about.

How old are the struts on your car?
It is possible that they are to worn out and that could be why you are feeling what you are feeling when you drive your car.

Fill out your profile. Are you on stock suspension?

I would check the swaybar end links. They have rubber bushings on them that when they wear out will cause that to happen.

Probably blew out one shock.

Probably blew out one shock.

I agree. It could be a blown out strut or it could just be that they are old and worn out.

The reason my profile is not filled out is because there is nothing to "fill it out" with, meaning everything is stock, there are no modifications to list. I am still in the "oh god, what did that girl do to the poor thing" phase of owning the car.

Anyway, the shocks are god knows how old. I could crack one off tommorow and see what I can see.

That is going to be your best bet especially since you dont know how old they are. When I first got my Eclipse it actually had used struts on it from a local junkyard. The guy that owned it before me was extremely cheap, and I know he is because he is a friend of mine. So you never know what your car could have on it when you first get it from someone else.
