So we just purchased out 07 SC about a month ago. At first I thought it was the shape of the E being blown around, but after a month I notice that the front end feels like it "floats" around on the highway. Even my wife notices this and she'll barely notices these types of things.
I got to thinking, wheel alignment? tires? worn pieces?
The E is in tiptop shape with just over 33k on the clock, so worn pieces isn't an issue. I checked the shocks for oil leaking and they're fine. Tires and alignment are both freshly done too.
After being on EOC for the last month, I see that this is not just something I notice, but rather a more common comment about the E.
Has anyone been able to come up with a real world solution?
Ideas to try:
1) After reading a little more on the SC I noticed Honda uses a installed a larger rear-anti-swaybar, maybe this is what makes the front end feel like it floats a little. So maybe install a larger front bar?
2) Would a more "specialized" 4-wheel alignment work, maybe a tad more/less aggressive than factory (But not too much to make tires wear funny).
3) Mod the tire pressures w/in their "normal" range to gain more stability?
Again, this isn't a huge issue, more an annoying issue like driving your gramps old Buick that feels like it's forever wandering.
