gavin.starr Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 I have reacently just changed all of the rear suspention compenents, ie wishbones etc... got the car 4 wheel lazer alligned, but it still feels sloppy at the back end. When in a straight line its fine doesnt pull to the left or right under accelaration or anything like that, but if i jiggle the steering wheel it feels as though the rear tyres are flat as it swamps about. Could i be right in thinking that the subframe may not be secure in the way of the mounts or would that problem be blatently obvious in way of excessive movement. Im stumped.

dwayne Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 did you tighten it all back up with the weight of the car back on its wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavin.starr Posted September 10, 2010 Author Share Posted September 10, 2010 i personaly didnt, but my mate at the garage loosened it all off before he carried out the allignment, which at that point the car was down with the weight on its wheels on the ramps. Would that have made a difference ie too much of an excessive load on the bushes or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gavin.starr Posted September 10, 2010 Author Share Posted September 10, 2010 yea i have falkens on it, ive never had a problem with them before on any of my other cars so cant see it being the tyres that are at fault Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Get the garage to put it on a ramp and check all suspension bolts (front and rear) are torqued up correctly, also get them to check sub frame bolts, ARB's, wheel bearings, condition of tyres, etc. Suspension service manual here may be of help. http://www.turbosupras.com/pdfs/JZA80%20TSRM/SA.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavin.starr Posted September 12, 2010 Author Share Posted September 12, 2010 its just gone through an mot ata local garage i use, all the wheel bearings were fine, i have already checked over the bolts and they are all ok and torqued up correctly. The only think i havent checked myself is the subframe bolts and ARB bushes etc. Can you see if there will be any problems by looking at them and giving the car a jiggle, or is there a specific check that needs to be done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
