Need help rear suspension problems
 
Ok first off the car has ground control coilovers with tokico blues and suspension techniques say bars. Its weird when the rear of the car hit a bump or like a reflector on the road it swings a little back and fourth. i rechecked everything to see if anything was lose but everything was fine. I swapped out the rear end like 3 months ago alone but it wasnt my first time doing that everything should be good.
what do you guys think? oh and im going to the streets in about 10 days.

thats what I was thinking. I havent replaced mine or elimenated them and today when I hit some bumps I noticed the right side seemed to go left for a few sec.

jack up the car by the body high enough to get a block under one of the tires. Get a short block of wood(a 4x4 block works well) that will go on the ground under one of the tires. DROP THE CAR VERY SLOWLY ONTO THE WOOD BLOCK TO LOAD THE TIRE WITH WEIGHT( have the e brake on good and tight) and watch to see if the subframe moves. You can load the suspension this way on either side to see/hear for problems.

Like lil red said Streets of Willow. Thanks for those who had good advise and have lives not like the others that have stupid shit to say. I fixed it and my car is ready.
Thanks :)

good to hear, what was wrong?

Rotary_Guy007 11-10-08 12:37 PM

The aliment (toe) was off like really bad but now its at the right degrees. The rear wheels were both pointing to the right so every time it hit a bump it would pull in that direction.

Thanks for the advice though socalrotor ;]
