iain_spen Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Lately, i seem to be loosing the back end easily when cornering. I'm not doing daft speeds and it mostly happens on round abouts. It only happens when I'm turning right, for the life of me I cant seem to lose the back end when I'm turning left (and believe me I've tried) Tyres - fine Shocks - fine Brakes - fine any ideas?...

Dude:flame Dev I am being hugely thick here but I just don't get it. Are you suggesting that there is oil on the roundabout or have I completely missed the joke???

Silly me, you are of course correct Jake, however (you know the thread) I am but a lower-class, illiterate, poor supra owner, my lack of reading skills should therefore be explained. I suggest a type-98 24 3/8's spanner and a 20tonne Jig You should then be able to tighten the rear end without any problems.

Jake Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Originally posted by dangerous brain I still dont get the petrol station thing Dude's a biker, like myself, and we are perhaps a little more aware of how often there is diesel on the roads near petrol stations. (or petrol but diesel is worse) Especially at roundabouts. That's it, no joke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
