ok so now that the car is working right, brand new tires with an aligment job im noticing a problem. when ever i start accelarting the car goes pretty striaght with no problem. as soon as lift off the throttle the rear end acks like it wants to kick out from me. almost like it one tire is accelarting more than the other. is this a signs of my lsd failing or a suspension problem?


signature removed due to size violation

 

you saying the rear end wants to go out one way while traveling straight? what exactly did you do to the suspension? what kind of tires did you switch to? what did you have before? do you have your alignment spec sheet?

does it jolt the car? does it make a weird sound? is it just a feeling? does the car actually pitch left or right? more info.

off throttle oversteer is pretty damn normal for a rwd car.

 

you saying the rear end wants to go out one way while traveling straight?
yes, but only after i lift the throttle

what exactly did you do to the suspension?
just tien s-tech springs right now

what kind of tires did you switch to?
bridgestones 205/60r15 front 215/60r15 rear

what did you have before?
for tires? i dont remember their was 4 different ones on the car

do you have your alignment spec sheet?
nope the tire place did the alignment job. but if im accelarting and let go of the wheel it doesnt try to turn left or right

does it jolt the car?
yes

does it make a weird sound?
no

is it just a feeling?
maybe

does the car actually pitch left or right?
usually feels like the rear is going left

 

It sounds like your rear stear bushings are shot. How many miles do you have on the car? If more than 130k or so I would replace them with these.

145k miles on the chasis, so i should get the toe elminators, should i also get all the other bushings.

is its safe for me to be driving it right now then?

 

Too much power , shoulda re did the whole platform. What are you running for suspension?

 

Yeah, assuming you have everything torqued down back there I think you are fine. The toe in bushings only have so much play so if that is the culprit it won't steer out but so much. Still be careful though as it can be unpredictable.
