what are the spring rates you are running?

what size front sway bar are you running?

what size rear sway bar are you running?

fwd cars can oversteer, however it isnt easy to get them to.

It is so unlikely that you are oversteering that few people are even going to talk to you about it. if you add to this that your post isnt particularly coherent then odds are nobody is going to help you.

fortunately i to have dificulty expressing myself online. unfortunately i know dick all about cars. fortunately the internet allows me to give advice about cars to people who know far more than i do.


just to be clear. if you are in a long sweeping left hand turn, as your speed increases your rear end is sliding outside of the turn. is that correct?

Well, besides your spelling, I would check toe being out on that side / in on the other. Plus any bent suspension pieces, although I would bet heavily that its not the culprit.

just to be extra extra clear, you say it walks away. the rear walks away while the front is planted. not that all four walk away. and not that your front walks away. im sorry for being such a ***** but people get under/oversteer wrong all the time.

ok so stock sway and your rear spring rates are lower than your fronts. that doesnt make for oversteer.

next i would check your alignement like kip says.

also what tire pressure are you running?
