I bought a '90 GT with about 100k miles the other day. I'm pretty sure the car hasn't been lowered.
There seems to be a vaugeness in my steering... going down the road in a straight line, I need to hold the wheel steady and occasionally make tiny corrections to keep it on path. Going through narrow lanes will definately make you pay attention to your driving.
I've taken a couple curved on-ramps at normal speed (roughly 35-55) and there's a slight feeling of the car wanting to steer itself... it like it feels not certain of where it's supposed to go.
When I first got the car, the very inside edges of both front tires were worn at a very severe angle... while the tires were at at least 50% tread, this area had cords showing through, so I replaced them before driving home. The car came with stock size tires on stock turbine wheels.
The tire shop said I probably needed an alignment, but the car doesn't pull to either side, the steering just feels vague.
I know lowered stangs have bumpsteer problems, but my car looks like stock height, so I don't know if my problem is the same. I do plan to lower the car with bumpsteer correction and camber plates eventually, but I'm not going to modify anything until the car drives correctly as stock...
What do you guys suggest I check and replace to fix this?
