In a recent thread people have been mentioning the fact that on the highway it's very hard to keep a straight line with these cobalts. They like to wander left and right. How many people have noticed this happen to them.

 

I have driven my car at a high rate of speed on the highway as well as road course track and there has never been a problem holding a straight line.

 

Mine stays pretty solid. I guess it depends on who is driving them. I've reached high speeds before and never had a handling issue

 

Not mine, If I'm driving on a level road....my Cobalt doesn't sway at all.

 

No, it's not so much high speeds it's your normal 70-80 mph speeds i'm talking about. The faster you go the easier it is to hold a straight line.

 

Never at speed has this been an issue for me. Only rarely at less than 5 MPH like at lights and stuff does it really come into play.
It happened once when I launched out of first gear, but the road was really shitty.

 

I have never had any problems at all, never really heard of this problem before, maybe it's the roads I don't actually know...

 

Still not a problem at those speeds. The only thing to watch out for are grooves in a well travelled road especially by big trucks.

 

This is crazy. There are like 5 other people in another thread that say it happens to them too. Interesting.

 

I've had this problem. It only happens to me at like 50-60 mph. Anything below that or over that i'm good. I don't know....maybe I just can't drive at those speeds lol.


BTW: 2000 nth POST!!!!!

 

no my cobalt doesnt have a brain so it never wonders....oh wait, you meant WANDERS lol

 

Not mine

 

It sometimes doesn, but that's mostly due to the winds we've been having here in MN. When it hasn't been windy, the only time it veers, is when I hammer it from a stop (torque steer).

 

its called tire rotation and balance.. use it people

 

Ok there "Acidangel" thanks genius! Way to be the brain in this conversation captain obvious.

 

shouldnt of started a captain ******* obvious thread, if you werent looking for obvious answers

 

I agree with Acidangel, tire rotation and balance plays a role, same with proper inflation. Also, with low profile tires, you'll have a higher tendancy to "grab" on to uneven pavement. Certain roads I travel on, it's a struggle to keep the car on the road because the pavement is so bad and the low pros just love to follow all those bad spots. More negative camber will have a similar effect as well.

 

I thought it was just my car or me. Glad to hear I am not alone.
I wouldn't say wandering so much, more like a very slight swaying from side to side coming from the rear of the car.

I was hoping when new shocks come around it would solve this for me.

 

yep had to have it done to my car 2 weeks after i took it home after almost getting pulled into a median. of course they wound up also smashing my rear bumper at the dealer for no additional charge, LOL

 

sounds like a badass detail job they did

 

Well would you look at that Acid angel! Now shut up!
I rotate my tires every oil change and maintain 33psi checked once a week dick.
You don't know who you're talking to. You're probably 16 or something hah? LOL

 

I just went out to check my tire pressures. 32 psi in all of them except for the right rear.....38 psi!!! lol. That is probably, most likely what is causing it.

 

well dumbshit.. when you normal incurr a problem in a vehicle you always TELL what you do on a regular basis and what you HAVE tryed.. you dont ask dumb **** questions like "hey my car sways back and forth" then you expect people to give you the exact answer when WE do NOT know what you currently do and do not do....

Dipshits like yourself need to learn to communicate and dont expect people to have telepathy.. i have built more cars in my time then wet dreams you have fucked up child

 

I'm pretty dead on until the wind picks up, then its like tryin to hold down a crack head with a $20.

 

Exactly sweettheshocker. That's my point here. Acidangel, go drop another tab, i'm done with your juvenile ass. Looks like all that acid had some affect on your grammer skills hah?
