>I haven't noticed my car oversteering, but I have noticed an odd quirk
when
I accelerate through, and out of a sharp corner. After driving straight
out
of a hard right turn, for example, when I make my next up-shift, the car
wants to dart to the right as I push in the clutch, and I have to make a
quick correction to the left to keep the car headed straight. (I'm using
right as an example -- the behavior is symmetric for right and left turns.)
This doesn't happen on slow corners or fast sweeping corners -- only when I
accelerate all the way through the corner and continue accelerating hard
out
of it.
This has always happened, even after I rebuilt the entire suspension (all
new bushings, springs, bearings, u-joints, shocks, etc.).<
Kevin,
Did you check the spline joints. It is possible that the splines are
hanging up and don't release until the torque load is released (up shift)
which allows the suspension to find it's prefered position. If you haven't
done so lately, take the half shafts apart and clean out all the grease and
renew. Then see what happens.
