Okay, i bought a 95 Eclipse GS. It has been lowered and has Tokico Blues on it. The rears are shot and had to put blocks in the rear to hold the body up off the tires (It was getting expensive buying tires every two weeks). My question is that i have noticed the last couple of days is that every now and then I will be driving along and the car will all of a sudden just swerve on me. The first couple of times it really scared the hell outta me. But I have gotten kinda used to it. The only real problem is that with the snow and ice on the ground, I just about ended up in the ditch this morning because of it. I wasn't driving fast at all, maybe 30 or 35, and came off snow onto dry road and then onto snow again. Well, when I was going onto the snow again, it happened and almost sent me into a 30 mph cookie on a country road (damn near shit my pants) It seems to happen more frequently at speeds between 30 & 50 mph. Or at least that's when I notice it more. I have no clue what the hell it is or how I would fix this problem, so I thought some of you guys might know what's up, or even have a dheap fix for it.

It sounds like a drive train issue or a bearing sticking causing one tire to slow down making the car swerve. I have never heard of this before. Kind of weird to me.

From what I can tell, it is the back of the car. There will be times that the ass end of my car will look like a flag flappin' in the breeze.
