mikey4410 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 ok so I am glad we got to the bottom of your problem.

morgey Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 As above but check things like rear wheel bearings are tight and the bushes on the panard rod and trailing arms Are in good nick. Theres not much else it could be. You could relocate your battery to the boot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Harden the coilovers at the rear, tyres? Reduce rear tyre pressure slightly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
enots Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 Cheers guys will have a good look over it during the week Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Hardening the coilovers would make it worse Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 (edited) Personally if your done on the suspension side of things id take it to a professional. I recently had a a lot of bother with mine having uncontrollable torque steer and wondering all over the road all the local garages didn't no what was happening. Took it to a specialist who's been building and working on all sorts or motorsport cars for over 25 years he gave me the car back 3 hours later and the handling is absolutly superb he said it just needed a good set up. And gave me a few sujestions on things to change if I wanted to really refine in. Edited May 17, 2015 by _shaun_ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

morgey Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 The rear beam is fixed you cant adjust the camber or toe. are both sides even regarding toe and camber? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
enots Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 Yeah they're both pretty even thats what i thought that nothing was adjustable back there.unless the axle is bent/damaged? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Watch with tightening the rear axle bolts, only supposed to be finger tight then a quarter turn or something. I horsed mine up and welded the bearings to my rear axle resulting in needing a new one!
