I read a thread about getting burned in the turn and what to do to get the car to handle. Quite frankly, the rubber bushes in the LX platform are built for comfort and turn to mush with agressive driving. They crack , tear, dis-assemble themselves, self destruct, whatever you want to call it, they will fail.

Adding HD sways, and lowering the car will help, but you still have the rubber / mush foundation in the car. The suspension needs to have a solid foundation in order for it to work properly, not one that's torn. It's like putting a fence post in jell-o, it ain't gonna work right. Firm up the foundation (the bushes) and the car will handle better with the stock bits. Replace the shocks and coils, it will turn from a Chrysler to an AMG.

Brandon is in Waukegan today and tomorrow (Tues & Weds) installing a Track II kit on a LX. Stop in to to ask him questions about what is going on, what does bush mush look like, and how to get rid of the bump steer in the corners. He's training the techs. @ Waukegan Tire on the LX platfrom and should have the front & rear cradles out of the car and working on them so you can get a good look at them.
