G sled tramlines like a b-atch

Now the winters are on, the sled is tramlining like mad. I'm not sure I noticed this last year. Maybe something's loose in the front end? Only 45,000 miles (yes miles).

Well, the outside shoulders are very worn on the summers, but that's likely due to the front tires being too small and from pushing around corners. Winters are pretty even. You thinking toe? Now that I think about it, it handles a bit squirrelly. Hmmm.

with worn outside edge it sounds like toe out, which also explains the tramlining

Did you solve this issue?

My outside tire shoulders are worn too. But it's from counter steering to keep my G straight. It tends to lean left or right depending on which way the road is sloping. I've replaced the compression rods but it's still the same. I'm sure if I replaced the suspension and bushings the car will drive straight again.

That is definitely one way to solve it!
