Strange handling characteristics

[totti182]

Whenever I get up to any speed the rear end of the car feels loose, I've replaced the shocks as they where leaking and thought this would cure it but it doesn't seem any better, I've checked for play in wheels and everything seems fine, I had the tracking checked and it was within the tolerances, hopefully someone can help me with this

broken spring? correct tyre pressure rear of the car cant be too many things left

Springs are ok checked them when I did the shockers, what tyre pressures should I be running? It's a 182 cup

Same for all 182s. I do 32 front and 30 rears

I would also double check spring and make sure wheels are fully secured on. What tyres are you running? Good ones or turkeys?

Mine was doing that and I replaced the damper and its working a lot better.

Rear beam bushes? Have you checked the hub nuts? I would of guessed rear shocks but you have already tried that

Running cheap Mohawks on rear so mite swap them with the avons on the front, not checked beam bushes but that was where I was gonna look next, hub nuts are fine as I only replaced bearing a couple of weeks ago,

That would probably explain why it handles bad, you have cheap tyres!

I think part of it may be the rear tyres, have you used the car with decent tyres on...or have these tyres been on the car all the time since you've had it?

bang on there!

Cheap tyres says it all !

It's always had these tyres on would it be worth swapping them with the Avon's that are on the front?
