Default QUESTION FOR BRYAN

Having a problem with the S. When I accelerate or let of gas the rear end swerves like the wind is blowing me from side to side. I need to narrow this down and try and fix this tomorrow. Please help. If I can meet with someone who may know so they can drive my car and try and get this fixed. Please let me know. I am available all morning and afternoon tomorrow between 6am-3pm. I'm seriously begging for help.

P.S. This happened after driving through Paris Mt.

Rockey

Tire pressure is my first guess as well -- I'd bet on a low rear tire. I think your coilover install is relatively new as well, right? Might be a loose bolt or a bad shock -- just need to eliminate the low tire first. You're welcome to bring it by my office (near 385 and Roper Mtn Road) tomorrow.

After driving it and taking a quick look, the right rear wheel has lots of side-to-side movement. I suspect a bad wheel bearing and damaged wheel hub. We're going to replace both in the morning at my place.
