    Is it drifting on asphalt ? I have a 2011 Rt. if I stay in the center of the lane it drifts. If I stay a little left or right of the center of the lane no drift.

    Default Baja Ron

    Get Baja Rons Anti Sway Bar, I promise you, you'll love it and won't have anymore issues. I was amazed and still am.

    Default Drifting

    I have the same model. The wheel stance makes you follow the pavement grooves. Riding a little right or left will help. I can't say enough about Baja Ron's sway bar though! It has improved the handling 200%.

    Is it hunting around (following road irregularities) or drifting (pulling to one side or the other)? Loose suspension components (tie-rods, a-frame bushings, ball joints, shock bushings) can also cause hunting or erratic behavior. Hunting could indicate inadequate or excessive tire pressure, or inadequate toe-in. Front tires that wear excessively on the inside of the tires also are an indicator of inadequate toe-in on the Spyder. Pulling to one side can indcate suspension damage, suspension component wear, a low front tire, improperly centered steering, steering sensor miscalibration, or a bad steering sensor.

    Yup! Way better!
    But Scotty is right; make sure that the front end is properly aligned and has all of it's little bits in good shape first!

    That means nothing. The condition of the suspension componenets is variable, and depends on more than just mileage. Never assume anything!
