    Ok ill try and make this short. About a year ago i started getting the dreaded tc/stability control lights. So i replaced both front hubs. That didnt fix it. So i drove it for a few months like that until i found a thread on here to check the yaw control sensor. I purchased a used one on ebay and installed it. That took care of that problem. But about a month later my car started driving like it was out of alignment. So i took it in and had a bad tie rod end. Got it replaced and had a 4 wheel alignment. Drove better for about a week. then the problem started getting worse. I took it to a shop and they said steering rack. So 700 bucks later and nope that wasnt it. And that included inner and outter tie rod ends. And it is getting worse. When just driving down the highway it just seems to "float" around. And when turning it seems the drivers wheel is turning in too much. But i have had the alignment checked by 3 diff shops and all say its right on.

    i would have the yaw control sensor checked out. Basically its the steering wheel position sensor. It is under the center consol. Brand new the sensor is 450 bucks. I bought one on ebay for 50 bucks with a year warranty.
