Rear suspension lateral movement?
Do any of you feel that there's more lateral movement in the rear suspension compared to other makes? I purchased my Z in December so most of my driving time has been on winter tires.
Last week I switched back to the RE040s. Since then, I find with harsh bumps, the rear seems to jiggle (ie: small lateral movements). It's really odd and the suspension feels particularily distrupted.
Could it be because of the make of tire, or the large change in unsprung weight - 16" steelies with 215 to 2.5lbs 1" spacers plus Touring rims plus 245/45 tires?
