No, not a dance move :D

 

Right then people, this is a very difficult one to explain but I will have a go anyhow.

 

Right, I've been in the process of having my wheels refurbished 1 at a time and having to put the sh!t space saver wheel on.

When I had the space saver on the NS rear and under acceleration I could feel the rear end of the car sort of twist or sort of step out. The angle as it were would depend on how much power I laid down i.e. more of an angle when more power was applied. It would step out to the left. The opposite would happen under decelleration, if I put the car in second and dropped the clutch to slow down the car would step right. I now have all 4 stock wheels back on and it still does it but only very slighly, don't know if it was there before and just not noticed. Really strange problem and difficult to explain but I hope you get me drift and can help out.

 

BTW, I have replaced the HICAS arms several months ago, albeit with good second hand ones

i would assume its because the space save is a different diameter fom the wheel on the other side, and with having an LSD on the rear it will be constantly trying to turn under acceleration, because the diff isnt allowing the two wheels to travel at their own speeds without a certain amount of resistance. it must be knocking hell out the friction plates and the oil in the LSD cos itl be constantly slipping, even on a straight!

Exactly what I thought but it still does it, only very slightly but still noticable with all the standard wheels back on

have the rear end tracked to the front, and ( i know this sounds silly) but the correct profile of tyre is on both sides and they are both the same

Had that done when I replaced my HICAS arms. Well, I replaced the HICAS arms AND the power cylinder as a whole unit

could be a worn susspension bush somewhere then?

under the load of the overrun its causing the play in the bush to change the angle of the wheel?

 

Fraser

Yes, I was also thinking BUSH ;)

 

I was hoping someone had a similiar problem and knew what bush(es) to replace

my rear end steps out as i go over bumps, its terrible, not just a little but by bout5 or 6 inches, not sure if its the hicas arms, bushes or a shocker. doesnt do it under acceleration just bumps

Mine used to do the same. Changed the shockers & all was sorted.

any advice on which shockers to go for, original or aftermarket ones?

Mine did do this and it WAS HICAS arms
