Message	being covered here. If I crest a hill at highway speeds (~55mph), there is significant lift and some light front tire squeal. Even tracking straight. Most concerning is a nearby right hand downhill with a dip at the bottom--when the car hits the dip it acts as if it wants to track straight, and I can hear definite tire squeal. The only way I can describe what I'm experiencing is that it's as if the front wheels are turning independently of one another in certain instances. A very strange sensation. Given that the sway bar "ties" the independent L&R uprights together, my best guess is that they're compressing at greatly different rates which varies geometry too vastly? Hell, I don't know. The car is freshly aligned with good tires and stock suspension components.

Tying the L/R suspensions - zellamay 15:40:07 07/09/12 Re: "need to put a sway bar on it" - Z1 ZONLY 18:11:14 07/09/12 I disagree. You clearly have worse problems than sway bar.
