3304, rear-end is all over the place...please help/read
Posted by scottfreeman80, Jun-14-04 07:44 AM
so i'm driving my car normally, about 65mph on the freeway and the whole rear end of the car feels like it is sliding out from me. i'm not accelerating, just keeping a constant speed. tires are decent and air pressure is consistent, lug nuts are all tight, what else could it be?
*car is 95' GST FWD*
my front end is very slightly out of alignment, but it doesn't effect my driving at all, like when i accelerate or am getting up to speed. any thoughts or ideas? thanks -Scott

you mean it feels like that ALL the time or when you hit a bump or something. I have a blown back strut that makes it feel like it slides out when I hit a bump.

yeah go over a bump slowly and have someone listen to your struts...I just replaced mine about 8 months ago at 55k

:(

IF that's a no go, jack up the back of the car and take a look, the rear section is really simple, so it should be easy to see if something got knocked off or is broken

Edit: If its the back sliding all over the place could you maybe have broken your front sway bar? (just a shot in the dark)

rear wheel alignment?

i couldnt go above 30 mph when my rear camber/toe was off. the car would near spin around.

Check the sway bar end links, get a 4 wheel alignment, check the shocks and spring assembly to make sure everything is in order.

We can tell you anything, but you won't really know for sure until you look for yourself :)

My buddy and i looked all over for any faults and couldn't find anything wrong. None of the struts/shocks make any bad noises, but i think i'm gonna take it to get a 4-wheel alignment to be safe and put some new rims/tires on it. maybe a pro-kit with tokico illumina's.
