Ok boom am driving and before I use to have 16 donuts and my steering wheel never use to move.But Now I put some size 19s and when ever I go through rough road the car wiggles and the steering wheel moves a lot more.Is this normal ?

Also,if it is normal would dropping the car solve this issue.I am new to cars and I just need a little help

Sounds like your wheels are not balanced or if your were riding on donuts for a while you may have bent something or may have caused damage

Depends on what your millage is. If it is high and you never replaced any bushing points then yes you will feel the steering wheel wiggle more. I went to 17" my self and it amplified pretty much everything felt from the road.

No I haven't done any alignment...Also my car has a lot of miles 187k.

So this is what I am going to do:Tell them to replace my ball joints,bushing points and a wheel alignment.This should pretty much fix this issue right ?

yup it should, also have them look at ur control arms just in case thats where the damage lay. do the alighnment last of course.

Ok so after I took it to the my shop(prodigy Performance shop,the best shop) we lift the car and we see all four of my sway bars gone....The back was ripped and the front was bad.Also this whole time that was the clanking sound in the front making.Now I am going to have my whole suspension new

Let me know if replacing your whole suspension works. I am thinking about doing mine. Or I might switch back to the stock 14" rims.

yeah i changed everything except tie rods they were still good and let me tell you this the car drives sooo smooth now,like you would really notice the difference,i love it !
Now, time to drop it on some megan coilovers or k sports xD.

it has 187k but transmission is great,car is running strong like 100% no problems.
Like i really love my galant it has great pickup,my friend has a k series on his hatch nd he was surprised i kept up with him in the highway.
