unstable rear? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I found that my 93' coupe with KA has problem out of the corners.

I have tein HE coilovers and thats about it.

when i gas it in the apex going out of the corner i can feel my rear boucing, unstable and seems like its not grabbing to the floor. i'm thinking maybe rear subframe will help? it just does feel smooth going out of the corner or during the corner.

i'm also thinking it might be because its an open diff? one side is spinning faster then the other? maybe an lsd will solve the problem?

any ideas and suggestions? thanks alot for the help guys

get some subframe spacers. I never had that particular problem, but it sounds like it may help.

one link is lose. i had that when the rear toe link bolt was backing out

susuki1220 · 03-20-2005, 12:08 PM

hmmmm.....good idea...i'll check up on all the links and see if any of them are loose.

any other suggestions? or idea of what can be the cause?

thx for all the help.

Maybe check your alignment?
My rear toe was fucked up and the car was really unstable on fast speed or in rain/snow.

while you are under there checking the links look to see if you have any torn subframe bushings

susuki1220 · 03-21-2005, 05:14 PM

hmmm a few of my friends said it might be my tein HE coilover. since this set of coilover has a short travel and therefore the rear is not stable.

i'm planning to get spl subframe any other suggestions for what subframe to get?

thx for all the help guys

check your rear multi-link, make sure your car is properly aligned and your tires are properly inflated.

the rear shouldnt really be hopping in a corner. If you are doing some drag launch i can understand.... could be the coilovers. were they used?

no the suspension were new, i'm thinking its the rear links, i'll have check on them asap. the hopping through corners is not very fun.
