it must be idiot month for me...ugh.
so on my beater car, about 3-4 weeks ago, i notice that at all speeds, but more noticable at highway speeds, my car is handling like a wet noodle. it wasnt horrible to drive around town, but freeway scared the shit out of me.
couple weeks ago, i started driving my explorer until i could look at the beater. finally get a chance to take it over to my buddies place, he seems to think its the sway bar or end link...there was a little flex to it, but i didnt think it seemed to be overly flexible...but it makes sense, i guess...i decided to get it up on my ramps today to check out things again, nothing seems out of place.
go to look at the rear, happened to grab the rear tire, and it seems pretty low of air. get my gauge out, fronts are at like 24-25psi, kinda low, rears arent even registering the gauge :eek:. tried again, nothing. tire didnt really look flat, go to get air, gauge there says same thing...under 5psi. ouch
so once i actually have some air, the car doesnt float all over the road...i still feel like a complete ruhtard for missing something so dumb.
lesson learned.
