strong wind

I am driving today on the AC express way in NJ and I feel the car moving from side to side. The wind was very strong today but was it that strong to make my car rock from side to side going 80mph?

same thing happens in my car going over the 205 bridge across the columbia into washington. it's normal, keep both hands on the wheel. new struts and lowering springs would help reduce the roll.

i just read that there was a strong storm yesterday in the NE with really high wind. I was just feaking out a little because I would hate for it to be my car. I dont have $$ to fix S*** on this car.

yeah we had some crazy wind up in CT yesterday. the wind has always blown my cars around on the highway. used to happen to my tC alot until i dropped it too. im gonna go ahead and say that gusts of wind get under the car and pull it where it pleases. Plus our older maximas arent aero efficient like todays cars. i wouldnt worry about it.

I love AC, havent been there in a few years.. but def wanna get down there soon. Used to have a roomate who had a house in little egg harber.. close to AC
