Back end keeps sliding!

[Adamhodg]

As above when i go round corners i can feel the back end sliding. Was fine wen i went to work this mornin but all this afternoon have had to slow right down on the corners, as i have to keep correcting the rear!.


Not driving any different to wat i normally do jus scared the s**t out of me when i went round the corner and backend started sliding!. Any1 shed any light on this at all?

[Ricardinho]

ask and you will see i think steve

 

[steve740]

what size brakes (if any) would you sell to fit 17's?

check your shocks yourself before you put them in (incase they bump you) i always like to know the problem before i put my car in or they usually have it for a week trying to diagnose it themselves

...they should be dry...
(mines wer really wet and covered in fluid wen they blew up)

plus im sure the bearings make a loud whirring noise wen you turn left or right if they are jiggered...

i might be wrong however..
