suspension help????

My evo is currently on tien flex coilovers. I've noticed that the steering is really weird. My cars tracks straight but every time i hit a bump, or uneven pavement my steering wheel goes left and right. Is that normal? The setting on the coilovers are all the way to soft. Could my alignment, or toe be off?? Please help. Thanks in advance.

have you done alignment?
it could be a number of things..
could just be bumpsteer due to lowering car toooo much
could be toe but toe would tend to just follow road w/ ruts and such.

I would guess; Low + soft = hitting bump stops.

if he is running the tein flex and adjusting the coilover w/ the lower bracket then he should not be hitting the bump stops.. it might be more bumpsteer than anything else as well as misaligned alignment. but please.. let us see what your car is at in terms of height.

I think the caster is 3.6 on the passenger side, and is not adjustable. What should I do

hmm.. i see normal or alignment specs..
and caster is usually 3.6 left and right..
there is no real way to adjust caster on these cars. they are fixed.. but the number is not as important as deviation between left and right front caster.
