[QUOTE="FiveLeeter918, post: 14801204, member: 86065"] Normally would never ask something like this online, but I'm at my wits end. Car is a 2011 GT, new Nitto NT555 255/45/18 tires all the way around. Kong Orange shocks/struts (05-09 GT), Steeda Ultralite springs, UPR tubular poly rear lower control arms, adjustable pan hard bar, camber bolts, GT500 strut mounts, UPR sway bar end links (heim joints. About 500 miles ago, I started noticing that in a stretch of the highway I take daily, my car is tracking really bad in a way it hasn't before. They just laid a new layer of asphalt, and it's not the most level. When I drive in the lane that is was recently repaved, my car tends to track the line of the asphalt really bad, almost fighting me for control of the car. I didn't think much of it, and just started driving in the other lane. Car drives perfectly straight, had an alignment when I replaced front tires a few months ago. Then this week, I started noticing a significant vibration at highway speeds (above 60 mph), that makes me a tad uneasy. When under acceleration, the car drives straight, but when I let off it has a slight pull to the right. It's causing a significant vibration in the steering wheel, as well as the passenger seat back. I took it in to the shop that did my alignment, and they claim that my passenger side caliper needs to be rebuilt. While the car has 80k miles, I don't see this causing the issues I am experiencing. I also have a noticeable pinging sound one rapid bumps. It doesn't do it on a solo drop in grade, but if I drop down the back up immediately, you can hear a ping or clunk sound. Front control arms were replaced last year due to the hydrobushing, and I've checked both of them and no signs of cracking or wear. With the passenger tire off if you shake the hub you can hear something near the center of the car popping, but I am unable to track down what it is. Anyone ever had this issue with a simple fix? I'm taking the car in on Thursday to have the wheels rebalanced, as it looks like they have fallen off the passenger side. Other than that, I'm at a loss. [/QUOTE]
