Front wheels wobble in reverse!?
Ok so ive finally gotten around to posting this, its happened for as long as i can remember and its gotten old finally, when i back up in my camaro and crank the wheel, the front wheels do this weird wobble-hop-gonna fall off type thing.
Kinda vauge i know, i di multiple searches with no luck....
just to cover the bases:
1. YES my wheels are torqued down
2. New(er) Poly bushings front to back on the car, problem existed even before replacement
3. Not doing anything crazy, just putting it in reverse and turning the wheel, happens more often when its wet
Normally i wouldnt care but i almost took out a customers car today with my front end, its un predictable on our tile floor and so i figure its time to get this bug fixed
TIA

Its fine on the road, but the wheels just hop, everything steering wise has been replaced as of last year, and the problem is still around though, forward with a full turn there's no problem but in reverse its like a shakey old man trying to hobble around

Might be too much positive camber. when was the last time you had an alignment?
