Default just a few issues..

1. i was told that im going to need new struts because they are going bad.... but when i push on my car it does not continue to bounce, it almost doesnt bounce at all. but when im driving i can literally feel EVERY little bump and crack in the road... i dont no if theres anything else that could cause that. but literally it feels like im driving a gokart.

2.also when im driving going over lets say a bump my steering wheel tends to like wabble or like sway back & forth.. the steering wheel just seems very loose to me.. theres really no play in it, it will just like rock from side to side when i hit a bump.. can anyone help me.. lol

Our springs are pretty stiff fo the bounce test for struts won't show much ... mine were totally gone and did the same ... look under at the struts they might be leaking oil out the seals ...leak= gone

steering can be several things , bad wheel bearing , tie rod ends and/or ball joints even an alignment issue...

ok... well i just had the wheel bearings done so thats not the issue... same with the tierods lol and now that u mention it i do have an allignment issue.. i just took it in for an allignment and my car is a salvage... and they said the frame is Severely bent in the front which is causing my car to pull even tho the wheels are perfectly straight... so they really couldnt do anyting about that.. so im betting my money on the alignment.
