"Tramlining is the tendency of a vehicle's wheels to follow the contours in the surface upon which it runs. The term comes from the tendency of a car's wheels to follow the normally recessed rails of street trams, without driver input in the same way that the train does. The same effect is sometimes called Nibbling."

Can't say I paid too much attention to the word Tramlining until I bought a Viper. Just learned about Nibbling, courtesy of the Interwebs!

Anyway, if your car wanders around on it's own while driving on imperfect roads, this thread might be of interest to you. Happy to report that my car no longer wanders anything like it used to. Here is my 3 step recipe for success, hoping it may help you:

Step 1 - Replaced/rebuilt all of my suspension components over the past couple of years. OK, big first step, let's just say you should have a good working suspension foundation to start with. Plenty of threads and contributors here to help you with your needs. The Viper is a fairly easy/receptive car to work on, put down the TV remote and get to work!

Step 2 - Biggest "fix" in replacing suspension components was adding the IPSCO Steering Rack Bushing Upgrade Kit. Boosted has just done a nice "how to" video on just this subject which you can find here:

Step 3 - Consider getting an alignment per recommendations, which are not "stock". Just did this today, and I'm wondering why I didn't do it sooner. Holy buckets this has helped out considerably. I actually drove my car with one hand on the steering wheel today just because I could. Cannot yet tell you anything about chewing up tires yet, but I feel safer driving on those 2 lane roads with no shoulders... I went with the "street" alignment, and am up for the first HPDE event of the season in a couple of weeks, so I'll report my findings. Here's a link to the thread with alignment recommendations (Thanks Mark Jorgensen!):

Lastly, where did I get my alignment?? My local Les Schwab has a Hunter Alignment machine and had me out the door for $83 and a guarantee. They had zero qualms with not going "stock".
