2004 GA SE 2.4l 4 doors, 4 wheels you get the point.
Im just curious if maybe its me or if its actually the car, for about 2 weeks or so it feels there something wrong with my GA. One thing is the driver side feels like its lower to the ground or when you go over a bump it goes lower, but it looks fine.
Second: it feels like when im driving my wheels are messed up like the alignment is wrong im sure that the steering wheel is out of alignment cause it seems to be tilted to the left a bit, anyways it feels like when you let up on the gas the car slows down to fast sometimes, it feels like when im driving the car pulls to one side mainly the right i think, or when im turning that one wheel turns more to the direction your turning and the car moves to that side quickly, also it feels like when im turning i cant keep the steering wheel at the right angle when turning like the car is moving out of the position where i want, here are some examples of what the wheels of the car feel like there doin when driving
/ \ going straight then after you get going the starighten out but go like that again just a lil bit.
l \ When turning either left or right it feels one wheel is straight and the other is only turning.
Is it possible maybe the alignment is screwed and it just needs to be done, my car feels like it has lost some power i know it only 2.4L but it still gives some people a good race. Also i should mention i live in Northern Canada are roads are snow and ice 9 months outta the year and is rough on cars when the roads ahvent been maintained.
If you have any suggestions please reply.....

I sure sounds like some type of front suspention problem. Maybe a tie-rod issue or even a simple alignment problem. I'd get it looked at soon just in case there is a driveability problem.

I would deffinately have a four wheel allignment done. You may also have one (or even 2) bent steering tie-rods. If you have a bent tie rod, I would deffinately guess that your allignment is jacked up as well, so it would be a great idea to have a full 4 wheel allignment. (usually 75 to 90 $$). The allignment place can check your tie rods while they're at it.
