Stability problems

My RX8 have stability problems. Every little hole or crack on the road make my car goes left or right (dangerously). I went 3 times at the dealer they try 3 alignment settings but I still have the problem. Anybody have experience the same problem?

I have the same thing. The dealer tells me it's the wide tires. I'm a bit suspicious of that. But on a flat road (no crown) the car tracks right on centre. no pull, no drift.

But hit the brakes on a rutted road and WHOA.. she pulls left like a tiger.

Marcus,
Just as in your other threads - some pulling of the car by road surface imperfections is normal with low profile, wide high performance tires like on the RX-8. It happens to any and every car with similar low profile wide tires.

By the way - please only create ONE thread with your question on the forum. Cross-posting (creating the same thread in different forum sections) is not permitted - we'll lock this version now.

Regards,
Gordon
