Hey, im not sure what's wrong so i couldnt really search. anyways, i just got my S2000 in january and tonight was the first time driving in the rain. i didnt think anything of it, until i thought i felt the car handling a little funny. I kept going thinking it was probably just the road but it continued. the feeling was like it was shaking a little. so i pulled into a gas station and checked to see if i had a flat. all wheels looked ok so i continued on.

but the slight "bucking" kept going so i thought maybe a wheel was loose but when i pulled over, all 4 wheels had all 5 lugnuts on. so i kept going and go on the highway (i was about 5 miles from home) and just went slow and paid attention. but it kept acting like the rear end wanted to kick out. at 1 point it started to buck pretty bad but then settled back down. It almost seems like maybe a locked differential? That might explain the bucking to the side in the rain? but really I have no idea.

Only thing weird with the car is, it was Tein coilovers on. And when my brother-in-law and i were installing them, we pulled on the front drivers side ABS cable and i guess stretched it, ever since then it has had a ABS light on (we installed them when i got the car in Jan) but it never effected driveability so I just havent gotten around to fixing it. Any ideas on what this could be? I have work in the morning so I need to figure it out asap. Thanks,

no ideas? i dont even really know what to start looking at. and i dont want to take it to a dealer just for a $100 diagnostic fee if i dont have to

 

um rain: low tread on tires: hydroplane?

 

Well, I'd fix your ABS, there's obviously something wrong with it or the light wouldn't be on.

Once that's fixed, it can be eliminated as a cause of your "bucking".

 

Could be but the symptom of "bucking" doesn't really match that.

 

put it up on a hoist and turn the rear wheels.
