Just bought this car and I noticed while driving home that on the highway the car swayed from side to side badly almost shook me out of the car and it seemed at other times it drove better and didn't do it possibly when the road surface changed. Not sure if it didn't do it cause of road change cause it actually seemed to do it most of the time while driving. Seller said a mechanic looked at it and said it had bad struts. Would bad struts cause this?? Help....

THE MANUFACTURER OF THE TITANIC SAID THERE WOULD BE NO PROBLEMS WITH FLOATATION

I'D HAVE MY "OWN GUY" LOOK AT THE SITUATION

I WOULD START AT A REPUTABLE ALIGNMENT SHOP, THAT MAINLY DOES ALIGNMENTS......PROBABLY NOT ONE OF THE "QUICKIE PLACES"

I'D DO IT SOON....I'D DRIVE REALLY SLOW TO GET THERE

I'M SURE YOU ALREADY KNOW NOT BEING IN "TOTAL COMMAND" OF YOUR RIG CAN BE DANGEROUS

MAYBE SOMETHING IN "MY ANSWER", IN THIS POST MIGHT AID YOU ALSO
