I thought it was catching grooves in the road - but it lasted too long. Not noticeable at low speeds. It was not fun to drive on the interstate; felt like it was darting around in the lane. The eye-opener came at a semi-circle off ramp and high speed. The phrase "tank-slapper" comes to mind. It was a road/speed that I had taken numerous times before, but the car was severely oscillating between under-steer and over-steer. Scary experience.

I tried Yalferd's advice on resetting the electric steering (below) and it completely worked. I see that this did not work for Neg89, but it may work for the next person.

Turn on car and center steering
Turn all the way to left stop and hold 2 seconds
Turn all the way to right stop and hold 2 seconds
Turn all the way left, then turn all the way right
bring back to center
Hello. My hydro rack still performs as it should.The car is better than from factory.
