amanda Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Any ideas would be most gratefully received, The rear end of my soop seems to have dropped over the last couple of months, bush's and suspension been checked and are all fine, I've got 19" alloys so have had arches modified to take them. The other thing is when I hit a man hole cover especially the back ends all over the place, I think this can be rectified by retracking unless you can think of anything else.

Gazboy Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 The wheels aren't going to help. Have you checked your tyre pressures? Have you had your geo checked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanchan Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 A full geo would be a good first port of call Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daston Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 how wide are the wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Are your saying it was fine after you fitted the 19" wheels ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waderz06 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Im having problems with mine at the moment. It wasn't the best handling car before i fitted my new wheels but now its scary! I lost the back end driving at no more than 25mph on a mini roundabout in what i would call slightly damp weather! Its done this a few times now and i really think its down to the tracking. This is where im going to start and hopefully its nothing too serious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan_Jones Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Rear wheel drive, 19" alloys &winter really don't mix. I'm just taking it easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dangerousandy Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I put new shocks on the rear of mine, along with top mounts and ARB bushes and it handles sooooooooo much better now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jspec Germany Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 You're control arms may be warn. I've had the same problem on 18s for over a year. About to rectify the situation though. New Teins and new rear lower control arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
