Need help with cars handling
I have a 94 Trans Am, I have rebuilt the entire front end, new bushings, upper/lower ball joints, inner/outer tie rods, you name it. I do not get uneven tire wear. My problem is that my car follows ever line in the road. I know I have 275/40-17's in the front, but really this is excessive in my opinion, and I feel it is wearing out my new parts. Stock ride height and stock alignment specs. Car will drive fine on smooth roads, no pulls or drifting. So what can I do to reduce this . And yes alot of the roads suck around where I live, they half *** repair them and put wavy lines in them with tar and small gravel that gets embedded into the road surface. Looking for suggestions.

Running slight toe in about 1/8" on each tire all but eliminated my trammeling(sp) and shows no exxagerated wear. Hell it may have been 1/16 toe each tire it's been a year and a half but it should be in the glove box
If your tire are already worn abnormally from the front being previously out of alignment that can do it too.
