Hey guys..
well i just got back from a long road trip and i keep noticing something odd about my xB when i drive on the highway...
when i get to high speeds (60-80), or accelerating...ive been noticing like a swaying in the driving...as if im advancing and slowing, advancing and slowing....like a slight rock/sway of acceleration....
does this make sence? its slight, but i can feel it prety well, enought to think somethings wrong...i cant figure if it could be suspension/handling, the engine or the aerodynamics...if i try to think of it i keep getting fooled...
im up to about 94,000 miles....jus got new tires, tune up and rear shocks...
anybody have this before? or know what im saying?
.....ideas?
thanks

Seafoam is a gasoline and oil additive that helps clean your injectors and i guess some sludge and all that....just add it to your tank and/or your oil...ive heard it recommended too many times...so i tried it out myself for once...haha
I've used Seafoam quite a bit...nifty product, especially their automatic trans solution. For a fuel injector additive, I really prefer 3M's cleaner. They have the direct fuel rail unit, but as I recall the hose alone was around $75. Either or works great.
