I have a 2001 Accord LX 4 dr. Only mods are H&R Sport springs/Tokico Illumina shocks and a TL type S rear swaybar. I'm riding on 95 ex alloys and 205/60/15 Dunlop SP Sport A2s. Lately when I drive there is a lot of wheelhop from the rear tires. Basically, the rear feels disconnected from the rest of the car. I actually have to struggle w/ the wheel to keep it going in a straight line. Any ideas of what could be causing this? Does this sound like a blown shock? Problem with a wheel? Rear supension?...Any ideas guys?

 

have you checked the tread on your tires?

 

I havent checked the tread. I actually have about 20K miles on these tires, though (long daily commute). But, I have the tires rotated every 3,000 miles w/ the oil change. I guess the tires will be one of the things I will check out tomorrow.

thanx

 

May be its a minor fault like Air pressure in the tires cause i use to feel that and had my rear left tire a pressure of 20 . I would suggest checking that before going deep into the problem

 

I would guess the alignement, especailly the rear wheels

 

Yeah...i had an alignment about a week after i had the shocks/springs put on (that was about 7 or 8 months ago). Is it possible I need another alignment already?

 

not likely, but that just my suggestion, do you have a friend that you can swap your rims over? like for a day or two, because it would eliminate abunch of guessing and matching
