Rear inner tire lifting in hard cornering.
Rear inner tire lifting in hard cornering.
Does anyones inner rear tire lift during medium and hard cornering? What causes this. I might have my rear sway bar endlinks too tight? The car corners amazingly but just kicks in the end.

The rear sway bar (or springs) are too stiff. You either need to drop down to a smaller sway bar or softer springs. This is a common problem in auto-x'ing, with the same solution as above. In fact, most F-bodies in the F Stock class and the next class up (it's name escapes me at the moment) just leave the rear sway bar and springs alone, and some even tune the shocks softer if they have adjustable shocks.

I'd say tighten the endlinks enough so that the bushings just start to squish. You might want to install rubber bushings and frame mounts to loosen the rear end up some. Or, you could try out your stock rear sway bar or another 3rd-gen sway bar that's smaller than the ST bar.------------------
