swaying

[danmusic24]

having a bit of bother with my 16v..
jamex coilovers fitted
new mounts all round when i done the job
took it for tracking and told cant track due to wishbones bushes shot
replaced complete wishbones both sides new bushes
rear beam bushes about 4 months ago

feels like the car is swaying left to right on front and rear
and pulls hard over if you go over slight pot hole(on front)

any ideas???

Sounds too low and if it aint it sounds like rear bushes.  Funny enough.

If its very low it will handle like sh1t.

Ive always found when really low power steering becomes harder therefor less likely to sway?

Still handled like crap

Ball joints?, when you replaced wishbones, did you get new ball joints?

also if it's low all the alignment will be out and simple tracking will not sort it properly... find somehwere that does proper 4 wheel alignment (inc camber, which you can adjust using the bottom ball joints)

car aint sat to low its about a inch gap between arch and tyre,the wishbones come complete with new bushes pressed in.
rear beam bushes i got from gsf? im thinking that thats the only thing that could make back end of car sway? no other items on back of car that could cause problems?
what i did notice is when fitting jamex shocks to rear it was not a tight fit where shock fits into lower fixing point? you could almost slide a washer in..

have not had tracking done yet,so could that be a major factor?

What about the ball joints? Did you replace them?

What part of new wishbones do you not understand

ball joints are usually sold separate to the wishbones (I know febi's sell just the wishbone and the kit).. also if they have being changed the camber/caster will all be well out
