I have owned a 1st gen, a second gen, a third gen, and now a fouth gen camaro, both 6 and 8 cylinder models. I don't remember the first three gens having the down right nasty ride that the fouth gen I just started driving has. Bumps at highway speed send it wandering around uncontollably. What do you fouth gen owners think is something broken or is that just the way they are?

 

I have own all 4 gens also. The 4th gen is the best handling of the lot. The only real downside is the weight. The coil over suspension design comes right from racing combind with a rack and pinion steering makes for a fun car to drive but like any car it all has to be in good working order.

 

Something must be broken or loose. Go through your whole suspension and make sure there are no missing parts, and see if you still have the original shocks.

 

check your tie rod ends, ball joints and struts. these have made the biggest difference in handling for me. with the wide front tires the tie rod ends on mine were really bad.

 

well where i live the roads are no good potholes everywhere, and even with new shocks and good steering ends, if im going more than 40mph and hit a bump the back goes out

 

As happens with any solid axle car. Your going to need a 5th gen or a Vett to get any better.

 

I've never had the back break loose without using a considerable amount of throttle.

 

I always have the back break loose, god I need tires.

 

+1 on this. do what craby said. My car handles very well for being 15 years old and having all original suspension. Very tight in the corners and stays composed even on bumpier roads. I've never ridden in one with a modded suspension but i bet its nice.

 

First check all that stuff mr. Crabby said, then get some new shocks all the way around then post up if it's any better.
