Suspension issues
So here is my issue I just found out on my 07 civic.
I replaced all shocks and struts and front control arm and upper wear control arm to on my 02 civic.. I going around a corner about 65mph and part of the road was not that level and when the car reached that uneven part on the corner ,the car goes up and down as normal but that's not my issue, the car goes side to side around the corner and that's not normal..the shocks and struts or not the best in quality as I bought them on rick auto website. Those anyone have any answers or idea? I'm thinking it's my shocks and struts but I would like some expert advice.

Re: Suspension issues
That very well could be. I bought front struts off amazon and I got two different strut manufacturers struts. I put them on and can definitely tell one is lower quality than the other as the car bounces more on the right than the left side.
Re: Suspension issues
My issue was fixed after a year of new tyres, struts, sway bar links etc. Turned out to be a cradle shift castor on the front cradle (sub frame) which made the rear feel unstable at speeds and over bumps. I took it for another alignment (3rd try) and after driving it they figured out the problem.
Re: Suspension issues
So what is a cradle shift castor? I tried look it up but i didn't come up with nothing other than control arms. I have never heard that name before.
