I was having a problem with my car getting tail happy even at ligbht throttle and/or cruising. I FINALLY got under the back of the car and found that the bolt that holds the passenger side rear steer bushing was a little loose. That was allowing the wheel to move back and forth quite a bit. In my case it was an easy fix, but sometimes the actual bushings can go bad. Luckily I have some RB rear steer eliminators just waiting to be installed. :P

Driveshaft, axles, differential mount, shocks. That's a start.

I think Carlos mentioned having the same problem.

It got to be embarassing being all over the road. Now I know how failing rear steer bushings could cause somebody to crash.

The bolt that adjusts the toe in and out at the rear was not fully torque down, after a while driving i kept geting clunks, it took me a 4 months to track this noise down after replacing almost all the bushings. So my left rear wheel kept going in and out of toe under any condition no good.



The other thing I had a problem once was the lateral link was worn out causing the rear whell to change toe anytime also,



The other problem was the worn out diff cause my car to oversteer when turning right, tire spun ala open diff but very bad, Car torqued steer to the right under hard acceleration from the back.
