This is what I'm thinking, or a bad (or unseated) spring.

Coilovers look fine. No leaks. Nothing is broke or loose either...

Rolling my tires though, they don't roll straight. They wobble. Could the tires really cause a full throttle wobble?

Why wouldn't I feel it at high speeds and normal throttle?

The only way to know is a methodical piece by piece inspection.

StlRomAniaN · 02-28-2017, 05:49 PM

I should focus only on the rear of the car, correct?

Based on your description, yes sir.

Raulo19 · 02-28-2017, 07:00 PM

Looking at the tire from the rear of the car, does it wobble vertically or horizontally?

StlRomAniaN · 02-28-2017, 07:23 PM

Horizontally, off the hub of course, just rolling across the ground, but that's quite normal.

Had the problem on mine, alignment and new tires, wow what a difference. Drives great now

Raulo19 · 02-28-2017, 08:11 PM

No play in the wheel bearing?

StlRomAniaN · 02-28-2017, 08:57 PM

No play in the wheel bearings either. No play in anything.

I almost feel like just doing a burnout to "even" out the rear tires from the couple of weeks my toe was off. Lol. Sounds like it could be plausible.

I bought a set of Toyo tires once and the car drove very bad. Come to find out two of the tires were defective and the tread was not straight. Tires were replaced and that straightened it out. Op, you mentioned the tires did not appear to be straight when rolled. May be the problem.

When all else fails...

I bet your tires are shot. Black on the bumper seems like you lost significant rubber. Worn tires on these cars make them catch every crack and groove in the road.
