i left go of the steering wheel and it went to the left hard

if it wasn't the wind, get your tires checked on a wheel balancer. see if they run true to the rim. as tires wear, the sidewalls get weak. when this happens, you really notice it on the highway.

Didnt you just get a speeding ticket for 140?

How wide are your tires? I'm sure it was the wind that made you car feel unstable but having wide rubber will just make it worse. When was the last time you checked your tire pressure? About balance, if you had a balance problem, the car would vibrate not drift.

It was prolly the wind, cause when I was driving yesterday around 7pm on the 401 @ 140, my car felt like it was being tossed around too

depending on how low your car is.....


it could have been due to an uneven road surface??

with a lowered car and low pro tires the car will always pull towards any imperfections in the road....

Yeah it's probably the wind..

I've had the same problem driving around on the 403, ..even at slower speeds 110-120.

Was there ice on the road, I notice that all the water on the ground was frozen. Does it happen all the time or did it began last night?

your rear kicked out while turning?? or u mean it just pushed you harder while turning?

labatia

the wind was strong and it just happened that night
i drove it last night and i think the alignment needs to be fixed

your alignment won't change, unless something is worn or bent. If you are really worried about it check your tires. I'm not talking about the tires being balanced, I'm talking about a visual dynamic imbalance. If you go get an alingment without checking the front end or tires, your wasting your money.
