Stability problems

My RX8 have stability problems. Every little hole or crack on the road make my car goes left or right (dangerously). I went 3 times at the dealer they try 3 alignment settings but I still have the problem. Anybody have experience the same problem?

Yeah occasionally when im braking up to a light or something if the roads rough it pulls me a bit to one side. The car just grips really well and tries to stick to the road. Id rather it pull a bit on a rough road than have sloppier susp. though.

If you exibit the issues above, it happens mainly at very low speed and on uneven roads, not an issue.

Marcus, you usually get better results if you just make 1 post instead of the 3 that I found.

This also makes the SEARCH button more effective in finding pertinent info.

All wide, lowprofile tires show some tendency to follow irregularities in the road. I am referring mostly to grooves that run in the same direction the car is travelling. The BMW I had was WAY worse than the RX8.
If you are talking about potholes or bumps causing your car to dart in one direction or the other, you might have a bad ball joint.
