I keep almost spinning out at low speeds on my home road (something familiar)
it kinda feels like my initial turn in is soft than it turn too hard. its happened like 3-4 times and i got new tires, checked with mechanic who says my (rear radius arm bushings) are bad but he isnt sure if thats the problem.... what he did say is that with the bushings bad my back whells could have some left right play to them? is this is whats messing up my turning? i need help cause if i fix the bushings im broke for a while so i need to fix the right problem first.
Thanks

Does this happen on wet roads or dry roads? I don't see why you would be spinning out of control unless you have a very high rear spring rate on damp pavement.

I would check your outer tie rods... they are in the front and connect to your steering rack to you front knuckle... they have a dramatic effect on your steering and if they are bad enough (bushings/bearing worn out), they might cause something like that to happen.

bad alignment can be held accountable too

let us not rule out the possibility of partial driver responsibility. no offense, but i dont know you or how you drive.

i have some friends that drive like sketch pads and snap the wheel straight after a turn sending the highknee sliding.

it sounds like bad alignment but do you have a rear sway bar?

my 1999 si's doing the same exact thing and it just started like 3-4 days ago... rear sway bar or sway bar bushings is what cause it in my car, maybe yours too. i find it soo funny how many people on this board never even guessed rear sway bar or anything.. everyone either said it was all in my head or i needed an alignment over and over cuz Obviously when my backend loses control on every turn its gotta be all in my freakin' head

no rear sway, and im transfering my cars weight as delicate as possible, if allignment is bad wouldnt my car not go straight when i let go of the wheel? it stays straight...
im going to look at the tierod bushings.
do you think the rear radius arm bushings going bad could do this?

btw the road is a little damp and pretty cold
