#33423, "RE: Rear suspension problems" In response to In response to 0 Oct-05-11 11:52 AM by CODE4
Originally posted by panthers4 I have eclipse GS. I have a problem, when i run over a small bump or a crack in the road, the car rear end shift a little bit. Its very unstable at the rear. Both rear wheels does it. Its a slight shift but very noticeable. I check all the rrear suspension for any loose or worn parts. This been happening for a while. I changed one the wheel bearings that was worn and one of the struts. That didnt fix the problem, so I took it to a local shop. they stated one of the rear bushing were worn but all the struts and shocks were good. I paid him 300 to fix one side of the rear wheel bushing. The car was stable for about 100 miles but same problem came back. My back tires are waring out too fast also. I just put some brand new tires on the back yesterday and want to get this problem solved, so i dont have to waste more money on tires. Someone please help. Im thinking its the alignment but i wanted to pick you'll brain before i end up wasting money on alignment Thanks
Do us (and yourself) a favor and use proper spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Your post makes my eyes bleed.
If you have not already, inspect every bushing and pivot point yourself instead of relying on a mechanic to do it for you. Next, as Tim mentioned, get an alignment so you can find out what is out of spec - toe or camber. That will be an indication of what has excessive play in it.
EDIT: I knew this sounded familiar. You have a handful of posts of over the last few months about rear tires wearing out, bushings, etc. Stop creating multiple posts for issues that are not resolved.
