L322 fishtailing

Jedd · Jan 14, 2020

Hi peeps, seem to have a problem after hard acceleration then easing off I get fishtailing, some times it get really bad, brown trouser time, would I be right on thinking this could be down to rear suspension bushes, thanks

Do you mean the rear end loses traction?

Yes sway side to side, even worse if I brake, only does it 60mph and above.

In my experience it could be all sorts of things, bad tyres, worn shock absorbers, tracking (worn bushes) or excessive vehicle control for the conditions.
Does the abs/tc intervene?
Check the simple things first!

Got it booked in garage tomorrow, see what the bushes are like, and thanks will have traction control looked at the same time, thanks for the heads up.

Tyre pressures?
