Handling of sc400
I recently bought a 1993 sc400( I tried several before I bought this one) and the steering feels bad. Whenever I let go of the wheel(at low speeds), I t goes right, and whenever I hit a small uneven pavement, I feels like the car is going out of control. Is it just a wheel re-balancing and steering wheel recalibration or is it much more?

If an alignment wont fix the problem then you have something bent in your suspension. Get an alignment first

Sorry, you could have been an immigrant or something and not understood the slang. Not trying to insult you.

It was the alignment. The front right tire was pretty much gone. the area on the side of the car was a silvery color.
