DTSS = erratic rear end?

Does anyone else have troubles with rear end stability during high speed cornering with on/off throttle transitions? I'm wondering if disabling the DTSS system might help, and putting is some urethane bushings?

When you play with on/off throttle and high speed, I think the only thing that can save you is your airbag

You might want to have your alignment checked.
If you have toe-out in the rear, it can cause behavior like that.

The only time I notice the DTSS is on very tight corners right as I'm starting to exit. Thats when the car starts to feel like it's oversteering when its really not. It shouldn't be changing your rear-toe under high speed corners at all.

1986 = no air bag. Maybe I should wear a helmet.
