Car wandering at 65 MPH + Need help diagnosing.

[younggscott]

Hello CivicX community,

I have a Sport Hatch with about 3300 miles on it. When going highway speeds the car feels like it wanders a bit. More so in the rear. I have to make sure to have my hands on the wheel going anything 65 mph+

I do not push the car hard whatsoever. I haven't hit any major holes, bumps or dips and everything looks fine. Could it be something as simple as wheel balance or alignment being off?

Any suggestion or input will be appreciated!

TIA

Check the tire pressures. Make sure they’re good all around.

Also check that the rear shocks don't have a leak. If not, I would guess alignment.

Something is definitely not right. Make sure that all of the shipping spacers got removed from all of the struts. If one got left in, it would cause exactly that problem.
