Default 94 Camaro feels very unstable on the highway :(

Ok so I took out my car for the first time on a long trip since buying it (100 miles) feels fine around town VERY tight, mods are BMR k member, upper and lower a-arms, Baer bumpsteer kit, eibach pro kit, bilstein HD's, lg sway bars, bmr subframe connectors, lg torque arm and panhard rod, bmr lower control arms and relocation brackets. Ok, not sure ifit has been aligned but would itcause it to do that if it wasn't? It feels like it wants to WIGGLE front to rear if that makes any sense. Who knows of a GOOD aligment shop in SOUTHER CALIFORNIA?

How many miles are on the HD's with the Eibach springs? Could they have worn down to be not very effective? Does it feel like the suspension wiggling on you?

It sounds like it could be any number of things, but a good alignment would be my starting point.

I sent you a PM with the shop info. Let me know when you head down there, if you do and I will try to meet you there!

Yea, wiggling front to rear makes sense. Have them check the wheel balance and tires first unless you know for certain the tires are OK and are not out of balance. Shaking and wiggling as you put it at higher speeds, is usually a wheel problem. Alignments are for making the car track straight. If the tires are OK and correctly balanced, then check the hubs.
