Hello all, I was wondering if any of you had experienced this:
So last summer I met up with an old college friend who is also a gear head. We take the GT350 for a ride. On the way back we get on an empty off ramp as I ease off the throttle and onto the brakes (did not just slam the brakes) the car gets a little squirrely, nothing too dramatic but it did not feel confidence inspiring. Best way I can describe it is that the rear is tramlining. The pavement was in pretty good shape, the front end felt fine. I had some what forgotten about this until reading that Steeda claims* their rear lower control arm bearings can prevent rear toe in under heavy acceleration. Could the rear toe out under heavy braking?
*"In testing, we found that the factory bushings deflect so much that the rear tires can toe inward upon acceleration over 2 degrees!" -Steeda.com (for part number 555 4117)
