Blown Around in the Wind

[Nitsua98]

Does anybody here find that they get blown all over the road in windy conditions, especially on the highway? I really have to try and hold my pathy steady and take it slow when the wind picks up....

try windy in wet conditions.... had that two days ago and i was pulling the wheel left to keep from flying off this hill i was going down.... i guess its cuz the pathy is big that when you get pushed from the side it pushes the car. aerodynamics right?

Try driving a 2in lifted pathy on 33's in 40mph winds driving at 70mph on the highway for 4 hours....I had to do that to go home for easter break....lets just say it was interesting

When it's windy out, it's not too bad. I'm not fighting to stay on the road, but I do have to make a *lot* of small steering corrections as the gusts come and go.

I did this for 3 hours last summer driving up to a campsite, I had to focus on those all those small steering corrections so much I had a pounding headache when we got there.

Same here. Once I hit 72 or 73 mph, it starts to swerve around a bit. It feels like when an 18 wheeler goes past you at the same speed....but from both sides...kinda.

But it happens all of a sudden and then disappears and it doesnt have to be windy. Its like I suddenly start zig zagging around and then just as quickly, am okay and this keeps repeating.... Its a little better now after I have had my wheels aligned, balanced and tire pressure corrected. But the problem, if its that, hasnt completely dissappeared.

Yup because im up higher, if I get in closer behind a 18 wheeler, the pathy kinda tracks in the wake of the wind. Its kinda hard to explain but the nose bounes back and forth side to side as if hitting a wall on either side that keeps it from leaving its lane.

Wow. This a useful thread. By the way, I just washed my truck. Anybody else do this recently.

[exvin]

Yep, have to make small adjustments to my steering to keep her steady a bit but nothing too much

Pfft I don't have an issue because I just hoist up my sail and fly into the sunset.

But yea, wind sucks.
