Back end feels light / floaty

[leebottrill]

I have taken the car out today And the back end feels really light. I did a couple of tight turns and it lost traction. Normally it's solid at the back in the dry. I have good condition mpss all round. Any ideas? Alignment / shocks /diff?

Could just be your over exuberant driving 😂

Tyre under inflated?

It's not my driving. Had the car for nearly three years and something is different! Tyres are fine

May be your suspension or springs then maybe buddy?

A couple of years ago my mechanic mentioned one of the rear suspension shocks were misting slightly. The car has only done 50k! Isn't that a bit soon for shocks etc?

Is this something a mechanic can easily diagnose?

im guessing a shock or bushing on way out

Also check drop links, and other suspension stuff under there too.

 

Could just be the weather though: A downpour after a sustained period of very warm weather will bring oils to the road surface, so it'll be much slipperier than if it had just been a regular bit of rain.

I had the same sort of problem , turns out it was the bushing in the camber arms , problem is you can't by the bush you have to buy the arm , and you can't buy 1 you gotta buy 2 , but it was worth it to get the solid drive feel back.not sure if that helps or not lol

Has anyone else had this?
