"They all do that" the stock answer but I have two E-21's that don't. Aftermarket wheels aggrivate the problem. All new parts in the front end..shocks, lower control arms w/"ball joints", bushings in the swaybar and wheel balance are the issues. If all is right, you'll drive smooth and straight! A $20.00 fixit makes me suspicious, but I have no experience with that one.

If you like the car and plan to keep/drive it, bite the bullet and fix it right...

Tom
