Back end feels very unsteady

[medici999]

Say when braking...not excessive braking...just light to moderate coming to a bend..my back end seems to want to step out or move about a bit...its got eibach sportlines on atm and pzeros on the back so wouldnt think that would be the problem?

Rear shocks?

But you are selling some so presume yours are new?

i have the same problem :S fred checked my shocks so all is ok on that front....

30mph on left hand bends is my wobbles

 

[medici999]

the shocks im selling are off the car, i put on 2newish shocks when i bought them...only covered 24k and there fine. If thats the only problem then thats ok...as i have coilies going on this week!

tyres maybe

Mine moves about a bit doing high speed, hard braking. Think its a characteristic of the car really...

There's feck all weight over the back tyres, and with the weight shifting to the front under hard braking the back end seems even lighter making it wiggle about. Get 3 big lads to sit in the back, or throw some bricks in the boot if it bothers you

Brake towards the corner, accelerate through it

If you're hard on the brakes in a straight line before beginning to turn you'll still feel the back end wiggling

Try decreasing rear tyre pressures, especially if the rear is stripped.

If you decrease too much, you may get some understeer in tight corners.

Bingo. Accelerating through the bend feels way more stable than braking through it.
