Check your tyre pressures/tread depth.

Failing that, check your shocks aren't leaking.

check the shocks also see if the rear axle is bent in any way.

Just changed my car from a 182 cup to a 172 ph1 and the back end is real twichey :-s

I have checked: Shockers, tyres, condition of hubs etc and for snapped springs and nothing.

Im gonna uprate the suspension very soon so ill see if that cures the problem.

Check the rear axle ins't bent.

Shock are probably worn though on a phase 1 by now.

 

[rory182]

shocks are a common one and make the handling quite fun. lol

 

[Teleturbie]

Changed my tyres from front to back once, back-end was all over the place even when going really slow. First corner out of the garage and it just spun 180 :S .

 

[R80HXX]

they think it the rear shocks it goin in on sat for a proper look though i only got it a week ago so i better not have to pay anything ! lol

 

[Weeman]

Dont be a poof and lift off mid bend, keep your foot in lol

 

[Day]

Says Mr Sideways himself...

 

[heathbrowning]

same as weeman (well sort of). slow car down before you make the turn, accelerate as you exit bend/corner. if you lift off as your going around the corner and its damp/wet its gonna want to step out.

 

[riz]

its rear dampers like mine if it jumps over a bumo on a corner then deffo replace both rears common for them to leak etc

 

[Nafoff]

hmmmmm interesting as 2 weeks ago mine just let go leading to me spinning on an A road.....may have to look into this.

i usually feel the back end going but this just snapped round to the point where i couldn't catch it

 

[riz]

as soon as i hit a ridge/bump in the road round a bend it used to jump about but now tis ok just rear dampers

 

[Nafoff]

better get mine checked i think

 

[TomTom]

Decent tyres on the front, cheapies on the back?

 

[R80HXX]

had it checked both rear shocks were leaking gas u can just press on the boot and the car bounces up and down the garage suppose to phone in morning to say if they goin to fix it or not seen as i only had it just over a week!

 

[Ja5on]

get the coilovers bought!!!!

 

[KrissyBufton]

[philthy]

[edde]
