Cornering and handling
I noticed the other day that my car was acting like a piece of farm equipment. You know, going into corning and PLOW this way and PLOW that way. Im very sure that it isn't the tires. Had them checked and they are at the proper pressure. I was considering getting some anti-sway bars and a strut tower brace. Any suggestions? Probably won't do this until the spring. Do the strut tower braces really help or are they more for show? Note: I have no plans in lowering the car. I like the ride height where it is. OR should I think about the shock/struts? Would replacing these help also? The car has 21000 miles on it so I kinda doubt they need to be replaced yet.Also, is there a particular brand I should lean towards for suspension parts?Thanks again!

Get a Progress rear sway bar. The strut bar is more for show on these cars. neverenoughauto.com is a good place to deal with.http://www.neverenoughauto.com...d=899

If so, that is the issue... It's getting cold and the rubber is literly freezing and getting hard... this will cause what you are talking about and just one of the reasions I ALWAYS recomend snow tires as it gets cold... Snow tires rubber is designed to stay soft when it gets cold, they don't "handle" much better, being so soft, but they do make things more confident... I would chalk it up to cold tires as far as your "new" problem.... A/S tires are ROCKS in the cold...
