ok, so ill have to give it the bounce test. I really don't know how the car is supposed to drive... since ive had it the shocks have been leaking, the tires have been almost bald, and this alignment problem that wears down just the outside lip of the tires (not both lips as would be the case with low pressure, just 1 edge on both right side tires) has been there, so I guess I can't just "feel" things out... oh well...
