Ok, it hasnt rained in a while so i know its not wet roads, but when im changing lanes or turning into traffic and need to speed up to avoid getting rear ended my rear end gets a little crazy and i fish tail. I wont be gunning it but ill begoing from around30-45 and it seems like once my tires catch the grove of the road or something it fish tails, its not hard to control its just a little *** wiggle and im straight and headed on my way again. I just hear alot about rear ends going bad and i hope thats not the case.

 

Sounds like more of a suspension problem to me.

 

check for bald tires or broken sway bar or links.

 

It handles finewhen im just driving around.. but when theres some slowsoccer mom infront of me doing 30 in a 40 and i whip around her thats when i lost it alil today, it just fished after itshifted and the torque kicked in i guess you could say... it could be bald tires i was looking at em and their worn.

 

Yes, especially when combined with heavy foot.

 

Ya, easy on the gas there buddy, the rear end gets a little crazy when you break it loose, that happens.

 

A simple rule of thumb is, the heavier the right foot gets, the lighter the rearend seems! Was it always squirrely, or are you just now starting to experience it? Check your panhard bar to see if there's any slop in the bushings. How is thepressure in the tires? And, worn tires actually put MORE rubber on the pavement (think slicks), unless the belts are popping through. I don't see excessslipfrom worn tiresbeing an issue unless theroad is slick.

 

bald tires and cold roads. when the roads get cold u wont even feel like ur spinning the tires but the car will just drift a little.

 

Ok, yeah its happened a couple times in this colder weather. when the roads warm it didnt do it. but yeah lol i could use a lil weight loss in my right foot.

Now time to hi jack my own thread, just recently have this little read warning in my guages its like a tank with an arrow pointing to some liquid. Radiator? do i need to let my car warm up alil bit more?

 

i think thats tranny fluid. get out yer manual!
