So as it says my 850 jerks to the right on the highway if I slightly turn to the right I just installed junk yard struts wit ebaich springs the struts are monroe and the rear is kyb the rear is great but the front is just jerky it didn't do this before I installed the new(used) struts and they look ok. the top doesn't spin and I can't turn the strut I think that's how you check the mounts right? I checked the tie rod ends and they seemed ok ill probobly replace them anyways but what else should I check?

Not yet I wanted to try to figure out the other problem first. Im going to jack up the front end and try to see if the tire wobbles

Driver side wobbles, ball joint shot. I wonder why it did it right when I changed struts n springs. I tested everything when I changed em out that's wierd

I ride my bicycle on the roads and I find that most of the jerks on the highway are on the left.

So long as you're not one of those who thinks they are entitled to go straight through red lights just because you're on a bike...I mountain bike myself, but I get pissed off at people that do that and want to show them a near-miss myself.

Instarx,

I was thinking the same when I opened this post! I thought I was doing fine riding on the left.

The worst ones are those jerks in their Tour De France gear that actually think they are pedaling fast enough to ride in the middle of the lane. Times like those make me wish I had one of those mechanical arm things and a really loud airhorn when I drive past them. lol That would be a pretty nasty lipskid as they are crapping themselves. haha
