Sorry to bring this up again, but im tired of the way my car handles, this happened since i hit a curb in JAN with both right side tires, sinice then i bought new rims, tires, inner and outer tire rides, aligned the car about 4 times in different places, aligment wise they tell me every thing is perfect, handleing has gotten much better but not wat it was b4 the lil accident, i brought this up to one of my friends today, he mentioned that my sway bars might be broken becuase it sounds like i have "BODY ROLL", my front end feels sord of springy, wobblely, floating up in the air, when i hit a hit those dips or bumps in the freeway it moves alot or even when i down shift hard for a take off, it causes me to over steer and under steer at times, some times it feels heavery that usual in turns some times really light its driving me nutz.

so my question is could this be caused by broker sway bays / body braces ?
if so were exactly are they located in the car, and what do you guys recomend i buy? brands? sizes??

any other sugestions what maybe causing this behavior on the car?

yeah i know ill stop hitting curbz, it was only once!! :-(

Oh Boy........

Get down there young man and you'll see the sway bars. One in the front. One in the rear. Last time I checked, body roll only happens when you're turning.
If your car is "wandering" when you drive in a straight line, it is not body roll. Kick your friend in the nuts for me.
It could be a number of things. Do you have any play in the steering?

yeah a little, i know were the sway bars are at now i look at a pic of my car i took from underneath a while back i just dint see them the 1st tiem i looked at the pic
honestly teh bodyroll those seem to be one of the problems at least how it was described in several websites i read, but yeah theirs a bit of play at the streering wheel and the car pulls slightly to teh right

H'mmm if you hit hard enough you could have damaged your inner tie rod end, which is under the boot in the rack, that socket joint is nylon lined and is very durable...........except under a heavy hit. That would definitely cause wandering. The good news is it's easy to replace on a Mustang, not so on a Mercury Sable, don't ask me how I know!

When I hit a curb in my Focus(damn you Illinois winters, damn you straight to hell) I managed to fark up my tie rod and it sounds like yours is doing similar things to what mine did. Maybe get that checked out?
