Squirlly back end/Rear Camber adjustment

08-30-2003, 12:20 PM

Has anyone noticed a squirlly back end on the wet pavement. Also have you noticed unusual wear to the inside of your rear tires (camber adjustment)? I have been having this happen and just hydroplaned head-on into a cement wall.

I hope that someone has heard of this one! Everytime I accelerate or decelerate my rear shifts to the right. Much more noticeable when I'm at higher speeds almost like something is loose. I thought it might be a alignment or maybe a suspension? hell I dont know! It bugs the hell out of me I just hope that its major.

I just had the feeling of mine always wanting to drift right when I got on it hard, I had more wear on my rt. rear tire though. I just put on new rear tires and it went away. My tires were much more worn on the edges, I do consistently check my tire Press. so that isn't it if you may be wondering, on my 23 mile drive to work I go over 2 mountains and the longest straight stretch is 1.4 miles.

easy fix. go get an alignment. the car had camber and castor adjustments that can be thrown off by going over speed bumps too fast for example. The rear will always want to let out... it's a rwd car with no traction control, and it doesn't have a high performance lsd in it... If you get braces, like an x-brace, stb, rtb, and rear stb, it will flaten it out quite a bit.. Cusco also makes a 3 point frame brace which I have heard very good things about. Unfortunately, it is the nature of the car. drive more carefully in the rain, and if you don't know how to control over and understeer, don't let it out going around corners.
