feeling in rear end
« on: 30 August 2011, 19:51 »
just spotted a thread on hear about front suspension wobble and reminded me to ask about something i get sometimes in my car.

every now and then i will take a corner and my rear end has a feeling as if it kinda slips but it dont.

i can make it happen. if i drive strait then quickly steer one way then back my rear end my front end goes one way then the other as it should and the back end does the same but seems like it has to catch up as if the tyres where realy soft if you no what i mean.
hard one to explain this.
im low on coilys so suspension is solid with 45 tyres. could it be tyres movement?
as on most cars the suspension travel would hide it but with it being solid am i feeling the tyres swaying if you no what i mean?

Have you done a spanner check?

You only ever need two tools in life. If it moves and it shouldn't use Duct Tape. If it does not move and it should, use WD40.

Low tyre pressure
Rear axle bushes
Very loose wheel bearings
