This car is really pissing me off!!!! My brakes are smushy, It drives all over the road, Every hole I hit throws my car all over the place, The torque steer is horrible, somethings clunking or loose up front, The idle takes forever to go down, my clutch slips sometimes?, motor mounts are bad, etc.....
This thing is falling apart!!!! I dont think it'll last the winter. How would you fix this crap.

these are all real simple to fix.
1. flush the abs system out( fluid is most likely burnt and hydro indution-ed)
2.replace your struts! you get bump steer from bad susp angles and its made worse by blown dampners
3.the clunking. new strut mounts and sway links and sway bar bushings. may help with #2.
4.you have to deal with the torque steer. a lsd may help or make worse.
5.the idle. tighten your rubber boots on the mani and replace the IAC.
6. get a single mass set up and let the 6 grand side steps begin.
7. take all the motor mounts out and fill them with windshield urathane. see simple.

Wanna help?

Make sure your hub nuts are tight. A loose hub nuit will cause, wierd action over bumps, loose braking, drifting while braking

my rear end was dancing around for about a month, and when i replaced my suspension my strut in the back was shot. so you might want to check your struts

Mine was doing that today? It would all of a sudden shift like a foot to the left, then to the right?

Also with the torque steer if I turn the wheel just a inch the car will swerve over that way HARD?
