Default high speed cornering

When taking an on ramp at about 75-80 mph I can feel what i would say is a "bumping or thumping " in the front end. It kind of feels and sounds like the tar strips on the highway when you run them over. Any ideas. :eek: I dont even know where to begin. My wife says just dont go that fast on the ramps, But what does she know. :conehead :lolg: Thanks, John

Do you have your car lowered? If so, how much?

Can't say for sure what's going on here but you might consider checking the anti-roll bars to see if something has come loose. Maybe an end link for example.

Is sure sounds like end links. They have to be cranked down quite tight.
