Well last nite on the way to Austin, I hit a dead deer. I cant find any visible damage, but when Im goin down the highway, around 60 to 70 mph, and I jerk the wheel back and forth, it feels like the car is gonna tip over. It handles really loosely. Does anyone have any ideas what it could be. I did notice that the engine brace bar underneath the car, right before the headers is bent, do you think that could cause the car to roll like it does???? Please any help would be great!!!! Thanks Jake

Check the sway bar end links. One of them may have snapped.
 
Bamby has done nothing to me. But they are everywhere here in NC and **** like rabbits and have babies. Hunting keeps the population down and those bastards out from in front of my headlights. Now I am sure all the "tree huggin' hippys" will come in and say the poor deer. Screw it build houses and let the hunters kill 'em all.
 
Might check your tie-rod ends as well.. Just to be sure.

*On a side note, send any deer meat up here to me. My goofy state doesn't really like guns and, as a result, has put a damper on my protein :(
 
My neighbor 2 houses down is a huge deer hunter. He always has a freezer full in his shop. I mean a load of deer meat, jerky with cheese in the middle, deer links and all. I have some fresh meet right now as we speak he brought over last night. MMMMMMMMM good meat.
 
Ok thanks for all the bambi posts!!!! I check everything, and everything looks good. I cant figure it out, I think it might be my alignment. Beats me the front sway bar looks great, the ends and bushings are great do. So who knows!!!!!

:Damnit:
 
You hit a deer and there is no visual damage to your car? Do you have a lift kit on your car? I don't see how you could have hit a deer without destroying the body work on a car as low as a Saleen. Unless maybe it was flat. I don't think you could hit a large dog without doing some damage to the kit. :shrug:
 
LOL you guys are the best when it comes to askin for help!!!!! Anyway, I got the alignment done and the tires balanced, but it is till rollin. Im gonna swap the bent K member brace out and see if that helps. Everything else is fine though!!!!!
