Help ASAP. Steering Issue
 
I have read other threads on this but no one has had the same problem. The only thing i know for now is that i should clean the connectors, i also got under the car (front, rear), and theres nothing lose,but i wont be able to do anything until saturday and i most drive the car till then cuz is my daily! Ok heres the problem, im not sure if is a coincidence but last saturday i installed brand new tires on the rear and after that day the steering is weird. Say im switching lanes on the highway, depending on which way i turn, the car pulls the other way, if am going straight i have to be constantly steering the car, it feels like if the steering is too loose, i dont know other way how to explain this. And if i turn a corner quick it would pull away from it, pretty scary, i found out because it did this on a corner i take from work everyday very fast and now i cant.. Also, my skid light comes on everytime i turn hard either left or right, i guess sensor is bad cuz the car has new tires and trust me it gets lots of grip. Hope you guys can help, am scare driving the car...

Double check that all the tire sizes match and are the correct size and air pressure.

what are the front tires size specs and what are the rear?

Sounds like you need an alignment :)

245/40/18 all around but the front are 30% from going kapoon!!

are the tires facing the corrct way...
rotation direction??
alignment??
loose lugnuts??

70% is a pretty big difference in tire life... maybe your traction control system is sensing that the fronts are rotating faster than the rear and messing with your driving? and with worn tires in the front it sounds like you are understeering from additional grip in the back and making your straight line drive touchy. also like saul said, how aggressive is your alignment? your car might be wanting to wander because of it.

Well hopefully i get new front tires friday and a free alignment from the contest!!
