Ya, thats what I was thinking too and tore my car apart and just made sure everything was free but no slop. It didnt help. Then thinking that the oil was getting dirty or low in the shocks. Went threw them and it helped but didnt fix the problem.

I figured if I know how to fix what was wrong I wouldnt have to worry if it went out of tune because a tweak or two and its back.

A couple of us started to think maybe the weather had some thing to do with it. Sure enough when it was hot the car was great but when it cooled off it would double steer (less rear traction). These cars are pretty sensitive and it makes sense so, now I know to pay attention to the air temps from week to week.
