Its seems as tho when driving at high speeds my rear end is moving about and it feels scary, i want to get out my top speed but cant as it feels like my zed is drunk.

 

i had the car up on a ramp the other day and the rear wheels have play from left to right, my friend is a mechanc and he said its the bottom ball joints on the wishbone but he is far from an expert and didnt even realise the hicas system existed.

 

now i want this fixed but i dont want to fork out all this money on the wrong parts. how can i be sure where the problem is?

You need to get it back on a ramp, or get the rear end in the air and check for play in all the bushes with an assitant moving the wheel left to right, up & down..etc

 

The most likely culprits are the inner and outer hicas bushes and worn rear shocks.

What sort of condition are your shocks and springs in? Just after i bought my zed i found it had a very similar problem which i tracked down to a knackered rear shock.

 

After seeing all these suspesion related threads your putting on fella, it sounds like you need a complete suspension overhaul. Just fixing the odd bits on the setup is quite likely to show up other weak spots in the suspension system. Personally i would just bite the bullet and do everything and have the piece of mind that your not going to have any further problems in the future.

yeah your probably right, may aswell go for an upgrade while im at it, but there are so many things that need doing, id rather spend the money where it needs it more first.
