How many track days/sessions on the tires? Most tires lose grip after 10-12 heat cycles even though they have plenty of tread left.

I'd swap the tires front/rear and see if it follows the tires. Was it noticeably worse one side more than the other?

The tires has 2 track days.

I tried rotating the tires. Still same issue. Both left and right turns.
:(

Have you checked for sway bar bind?

mamamiaellis 07-14-2020 03:03 PM

Hey steverife,

Not sure what swaybar bind is.
But small update.

Turns out my rear endlinks are totally shot.
The rear lca bushing was shot and the bushing in the knuckle, i can move with my finger. ( theres resistance, but i can still move it.)

Im assuming these are the reasons for my unpredicranle handling.

Has anyone replaced the bushing in the rear knuckle before?

Hydraulic press is your good friend here.

Well you're obviously losing rear grip. Snapping on exit or is it starting to come undone just after mid corner?? Are you on throttle or still off after the apex?

It sounds like a tire pressure issue combined with a small technique issue?

mamamiaellis 07-15-2020 05:57 PM

Its coming undone just after the apex.

I am definitely not the most adept driver. Always learning.
But it never felt like thisbefore. Even the slightest bit of gas would cause massive oversteer. Im not the most aggressive driver so it's just strange to me this happened suddenly lol.

I checked my car out. Both boots on my rear endlinks were completely open and oozing grease. Both lca and rear knuckle bushing i can move. The knuckle bushing is more resistant, but if i try hard enough, i can move them with my fingers.

I assume this was the issue. Ha d a shop BRIEFLY inspect my car. No frame damage lol.
I replaced alot of parts. Will prob get it aligned this weekend or next and see if it's any better..

Thanks for everyone's help

They're supposed to move in some directions, but not others so hopefully you aren't tearing it apart for nothing.

Thanks mike for the offer. I might take you up on that in the future.

But i have all of my parts in. And i got it realigned.

While i was at it, i decided to upgrade my outer front tie rod for funzies.

But the bumpsteer is dangerously close to the wheel. Anyone know od solutions to clearance issues for outer tie rods?

My alignment guy says unfortunately rn, its the best he could do. Says theyre like thay by design.

They are very close. Maybe 2-3mm?

Thanks
