OK, so here's my problem. I don't know if anyone else has had this problem yet, but I can't quite put my finger on it. It feels like a bad trailing arm type feel. At highway speeds the car feels wobley...almost like the car would feel when it's really windy outside. Then when I hit the gas the car wants to pull to the left. When I let back off of the gas it goes back to the right. It feels like a trailing arm because it feels like something is letting the rearend move around. I just don't know how that feeling would be derived from an independent rear suspension though. Any suggestions?

 

have your alignment checked, sounds like your toe is off.

 

Would the toe being out cause it to feel so wobbley though? I can't describe it...it just doesn't feel planted anymore. I drive a dirt track race car, and the body kind of moves on the frame...that's sort of what this feels like...like the body is staying in one place but the rearend is moving forward and back.

 

nobody has any other suggestions!?!?

 

Do RWD cars get alignment??? It's my first RWD vehicle, so I'm lost.

 

yes, RWD cars need alignments just like FWD and AWD cars. It doesn't matter which wheels drive the car, they still need to be pointed in the same direction.

I SERIOUSLY doubt that is is a toe issue. I was thinking maybe wheel bearings, but they seem to be fine still, and it only happens when I hit the gas...if it was a wheel bearing, it would wobble all the time. Plus it's not like a vibration wobble, its like the rear end wants to do this....
