pete.osborne69 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I have had this issue a few weeks now and I'm not 100% sure if I'm correct but it has gotten slightly worse after going BPU When driving it feels like the rear passengers side wheel is loosing contact with the road and when I put the foot down it always feels like the back end is sliding everywhere when its not although my car does go sideways nearly every day without fail Would I be right in saying its the bushes for the anti-sway bar or is it something else any help would be appreciated Thanks Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 There are a lot of things it could be, start by getting the car on a ramp and get all the suspension components checked for wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete.osborne69 Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 Well I had my trusted garage have a look and they said 1 bush was rusted and that could be the cause of the issue but they never mentioned anything about the suspension or arms so I assumed that it was just the bushes but I can't remember which bush he said it was Thought I would check on here first (not that I don't trust them just wanted to make sure first) If they only mentioned that about the bush being rusted would you get a second opinion to make sure or would you start with that Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete.osborne69 Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 OK I will have a look over the next few days what signs should I be looking for underneath as I have never done this type if thing before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattP Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I would lift the rear of the car off the ground put it on stands and spin the wheels out of gear make sure the brakes are not binding. Check for heat on the wheels after a drive etc. Failing that I would visually inspect Springs and dampers are not leaking or broken next you can check the drop links and the anti roll bushs next on the list would be arms and control arms etc wheel bearings etc etc.. You will want to check the torque on the subframe bolts etc aswell it's only a few hours work at a leisurely pace tbh nothing complicated. The cars are old if you have had little work done expect big bills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattP Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 If you pop into the tech section the torque settings are there along with visual aids for locating the subframe bolts.. It's all simple if your methodical in your approach I don't anticipate you having any issues performing these tasks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete.osborne69 Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 Thanks I will give this a shot during the next few days and see what I can find Thanks for your help Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommyd16 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 My supra was Scittish at high speeds. I replaced my drop links all round and its 100 times better. Also maybe worth getting 4 wheel alignment sorted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
