That's a sweet looking car though... How much was it?

ie, all the suspension, wheels, differentials
Alignment, steering trim, belts/shafts

If everything is ok then I guess the last thing is that maybe the chassis is still bent

Another simple check, see if maybe wheel nuts are to tight holding plastic hubs against bearing to tightly causing it to bind. Also check front c-hub/axle carriers for parts on wrong side of car or upside down. I'm sure you will figure it out soon whatever it is. Good luck!

If it cuts hard, then I'm guessing one wheel isn't going at the same rate as the other.

Status: offline 		also does anyone run a rear mount exhaust setup on they rs4 3.. i really think it would be cool to have smoke coming out from the rear not the side!!!

and i did search and found something like this "http://www.tsais.com/products/exhaust/E1020R.html"

Status: online 		Take off the springs and make sure they are all the same hight or size or damaged (if one is damaged...thats the problem)

Make sure all shocks sit on the same settings.

Make sure shock have the same amount of spacers.

Set your car on something so wheels spin freely, grab rear wheels and spin forward, look at the front wheels and see if one is not turning the same as the others, then do the same with the rear

Set your car on something so wheels spin freely, take off dogbones to each wheel, and spin each wheel and see if one doesnt spin very good.

Take off wheels, place car on flat surface, puch down on each corner, if it wobbles, then your chassis is damaged.

If none of these tips we (RC members) recomended solve your problem, Im gonna start thinking its your radio or receiver.
Borrow a friends radio and receiver, place them on your car, drive it and see what happens.
