hi all

Alright, at first I just thought that my tires needed air, but even since I put air in them this problem has gotten worse.

You know how it feels when you go down a bumpy road? cars tend to follow the road... in a bad way? Like when you come over the crown of the road, it redirects? :nuke: Like the wobble back and fourth with bumps?

im running 225/40/18

3 with 6mm+ tread and one with less then 3mm which is on the front passenger side

wheels are rx450h wheels with et35

things i had changed in the last 6 months are

inner and outter tie rods

upper balljoints

lower balljoints

lower control arm bushes

caster bushes

and Alignment done by wheels in motion

it passed its mot just last week

thanks in advance guys :(

Try swapping fronts to rear, see if it makes any difference - if it does then that would point to the problem being tyre related.

While they're off, check the tyrewalls for bulges.

I would say it could be tyre related.

I had a v grove eagle f1 with 8mm tread on side at the front and a very worn dunlop about 2mm thread straight grove tyre on the opposite side and the car didn't feel planted. It felt as you described with the steering following the road to a point that it was uncomfortable or felt less stable.
