Front end gets a bit 140-160

posted by  someone claiming to be Cardog on  Wed Sep 14 16:24 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Hey all,
My '72 142 has an all rebuilt suspension, - poly bushings, Bilstiens, Vpd springs, ipd sway bars, and all new balljoints and steering rods, (center + tie rods) good tight idler arm and steering box. Also front air damn, 195/50/15 Bridgestone SO-3 tires.
The question is...When I get to about 75 the front end gets "darty" and seems to want to follow every surface in the road. (fairly smooth, but highly traveled/worn I-84) Should I look at the alignment or could it be the tires? They are excellent handling tires, (feedback on Tirerack) but they might want to follow the road surface too much? The car sort of starts squiggling a little instead of tracking straight.
I hope I've explained this well. Is there anything else I should look at? It handles great on smooth roads below that speed.
Thanks,
CU
