so i had a pretty scary thing happen today. i just pulled out my gs-t thats been stored and ..i boosted around this corner goin around 25-30 mph and i had no steering control like i was on ice..???
 
new tires balanced everything is fine besides its like my tires arent gripping. i was topd it was tie rod end. my tires are toeing in and out
 
Yes bad tie rod ends can cause that feeling. The loose connections allow the alignment to shift from toe-in to toe-out under cornering forces. Also under braking forces; when my Talon had bad tie rod ends it would waver left and right under braking requiring constant correction.
 
yeah that also happened. i felt brave on the highway doin a little over 125 and my exit came up so i was tappin the brake and gettin a terrible wavey feeling. also my stering felt loose and car wobbld
