Loose Back end

[WaterRooster]

Well, awhile back I went into the ditch. Now ever since, when ever there is snow on the ground, my car feels like it is a rear wheel drive car. The back end is just loose and swinging out everywhere. It is bad enough that I have to constanly correct it. I think it is because of a slightly bent rear control arm. Any other Ideas ?

I think you answered your own question.

A bent RCA will cause the rear wheel to be out of alignment, reducing the contact patch and messing with the toe.

Get it fixed. I have a spare if you need one.

check the rear sway bar links. mine broke awhile back and since them the ass end of mine goes out everywhere making it a freakin' death trap in the snow and ice at high speeds.

John convered it... And until you get it fixed, lasso the SHO, put on yer cowboy hat, stick yer head outta the window, and (finally) YEE-HAW!! down the streets!

AutoX,
I thought I coudl deal with not doign it for awhile, but after driving it lat night, in little to no snow, and basically feeling like I was driving a 1200HP RWD, I think it is time. How much you want for the spare ?

I read this topic and just want to say try some squats or leg presses. that should tighten up your back end a bit.

Keep it out of the ditches.
