Yeah they all do pretty well if you lift off mid corner

If you go round a corner smoothly and then turn the steering wheel suddenly a bit harder you can get the back to come out a bit more. its to do with the trailing arms passively steering. And then probably a ruined beam on top of that!

not any more i sorted mine
the top engine mount cradle was broken i welded it up and chocked the top mount from moving too

used to step off the gas and the back end would go light and try to overtake the front scary!

Usual culprits are sticking rear brakes and worn out rear tyres. These are the only things which have caused oversteer for me, other than my accelerator interaction.

[ozonehostile]

Are the beam mounts good? They can cause unpredictable turn in if they've collapsed.

Torsion bar snap back is also a problem with these cars

Find my back end lets go quite often

That can happen with age.

I'll get my coat.

Please do.

When I had this it was knackered trailing arm bearings, there was actual play in the trailing arm

[Niall]

Just get on with it. It makes for a more interesting drive lol

[Grant]

I had solid rear mounts on my previous car. Loved every minute of them. You've gotta 'adjust' your driving style slightly, but definitely an improvement. But thats just me. Not everybody's cuppa tea

[Dum-Dum]

If your not lifting off the throttle mid corner and its sliding out then something is very wrong as the cars are biased towards understeer.

[powerandtorque]

Got Chinese Linglong budget tyres on the back? Such things are utterly dreadful in cold, wet conditions like we have now and yet still people fit them because they're a few quid cheaper than something reputable.

Assuming you've sensible rubber all round then I'd be checking the condition of the beam, the mounts and suspension componants very carefully - 306's will lift off oversteer to a mild degree, but certainly shouldn't be sliding around in normal daily driving in an unpredictable and unprovoked manner.

If its cheap rubber boots on the back...that would do it

My old ph1 would act like a rwd hooligan on wet roundabouts with cheap yingyangs on

Now imagine how I felt in the rain, with solid rear mounts and Spec II's


Life threatening combination!

So youre telling me... that my car spearing off in a random direction whilst going in a straight line... being unpredictable in corners... isnt normal? D:

I think there may be something wrong with my car....

Seriously on a left bend it can massively spear off left more than i predicted. But it doesnt do it going right D:

[Jenkosowls]

Passive rear steering

[powerandtorque]

Ovalled front hub or loose pinch bolt will do just that - best way I can describe it is an unpredictable lurch mid-corner after you've turned in just unsettles the car, just like you've suddenly added quarter of a turn of steering lock.

Probably the drivers side hub if it does it on left hand bends.

[Jonny81191]

meridian spec front suspension? that'll have an effect.

EDIT: bloody mini northern pikey forgetting to log out!! This was samss, not little Jonny

[Grant]

Im genuinely surprised you chose to state that Sam, rather than troll the hell outta him

[deggerz]

I have a hdi dturbo and if I give that some stick on a long tight bend I can feel the back end stepping out

[samass]

well, I was tempted to do another "I'm coming out of the closet" thread again, but i was stumped for originality lol

sounds exactly like the problem i have :/ Im sure Niall and Grant will find something obvious!

[boggs]

I just get lift off oversteer and a lot of it but then again my hdi is really low

[deggerz]

I've heard lowering does exaggerate it

[Poodle]

Continental whats? If they're eco tyres then they certainly won't help, but if you've got something similar on the front then start looking elsewhere for the root of the issue. I'd suspect something knackered on the rear beam is the culprit.

Sam, get someone capable to look at your car sharpish, if you've noticed actually an issue by yourself then it's probably about to explode in a ball of flames.
