feels like rear ends wagging

car feels loose in rear even in a straight line on the highway... in turns it also feels loose but seems to get better when i get more in the throttle. i recently upgraded the lca's and panhard to spohn, installed sportlines and kyb gas a justs and 295s.. mabey the stock rear sway is to small for the tires?? but even in a straight line


also another problem im having is if i get on the brakes hard at low speeds or kinda hard at higher speeds the car dips left and then straightens itself out. this issue feels like its from the front but brakes are semi new theres no air in the lines and the steerings all been replaced and alighned.

Re: feels like rear ends wagging

I don't know about the rear end being 'loose', unless something is broken or the shocks are worn out.

As for the brakes, I had the same issue with the car darting when I hit the brakes, it turned out to be a collapsed brake hose that goes from the hard line to the caliper. Try bleeding the front calipers and see if they bleed easily. If not, un-do the connection between the hard line and the brake hose and see if it bleeds from there. If so, the brake hose is bad. They're super cheap so if they look old, it's probably a good idea to replace them anyways.

295 is pretty wide so, if nothing is broken or not connected properly, you may just be felling the back end following road contours more than you're used to.

Re: feels like rear ends wagging

My 89 camaro does the same thing (feels like the back end is wobbling back and fourth at about 60 mph)

what is it?
