182 unsteady at speed

[jonahx]

Hi All

My 182 has all of a suden become uneasy at speed (90+) feels like the back end is light and is moving around from left to right, it feels a bit like when the back end goes light under hard breaking, but this is happening when accellerating and crusing.

Recently I've had full belt service, group N engine mounts fitted and 2 new tires on the back end, I've checked tyre pressures but don't know what else it could be, a month ago it was fine??????????

blown shocks at a guess

Badly balanced tyres also a problem.

More vibration than unsteady tho.

how do i check the shocks?

jack the car up and see if they're leaking. Bounce the car and see how well it settles (bit old school) It's pretty common they fail, so if they're leaking, it's safe to say they're you're issue

look out for broken springs while you're under there too
