Car slips

Hi, I wonder what is causing my car to slip, it happens often when i go on a bridge, but the one that have like asphalt on it, not concrete,

I have my 2" springs, new tires, Hankook S-R2, I had my car balance all four wheels and also the alignment.

is very little, you can barely feel it in the passenger seat, but if your driven the you feel like the tail of the car slips just a little bit, its kinda scary, cause you think your going the hit the car next to you..

well, hope to get some ideas

Turning or going straight?

If you're turning, just slow down

If you're going straight... I'd check the alignment again...

Is there a bump at all when you go from street to bridge? Or is there a surface change? Even one type of asphault to another?

What tire pressures? With a single driver your rear tires should have 3psi less than your front. If you have them all the same it sort of feels like the back end wants to pass the front end.

no, here there are lot of this bridges, their only asphalt in the middle, and where they change the surface the car dosent feel wrong at all,

but in the other hand when a drive in a street that is asphalt the car just runs good.

the things is on this bridges, I was thinking the alingment, I would have to take it again to the shop, but its kind of weird, because if its alignment it will always behave like this, and it dosent happend like that

Your tires look good and have equal air in both sides?

If the surface looks at all like this it's normal, I've seen surfaces like this with asphalt filling in the voids also. The feeling I get is kind of a wiggle and not just in the back.

there is nothing wrong with your car man. It is just the surface of the bridge. We have one of those bridges too.
