Spoony Member 250 Member For: 14y 5m 26d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 02/08/13 12:43 AM Share Posted 02/08/13 12:43 AM I've been noticing a slight weird behavior going on with my BFii XR6T Sedan. Car is fairly stock, mild tune/mods, LPG, 70,000km old Bilstiens, Front lower control arm bushes and rear sway bar bushes done, 200,000km total on it. Travelling on the freeway, then giving it stick, as the box shifts down and car starts to accelerate the rear seems to 'shift' or move slightly sideways. I'm pretty sure it's a recentish thing. Can't see any obvious issues or anything loose/warn, wondering what could possibly cause this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My previous FG did the same as you describe and it was a loose nut.Benny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary one could move the whole wheel on the hub/suspension. Both are tight as now. The sensation was also apparent this weekends camp trip. Fully loaded up car, 3 dogs,2 people, boot epic load, trailer stacked to hilt + 2x dirt bikes. Almost feels like it lists back from front left to rear right. Could be a non obvious bush that's worn. Will have to get it up on a hoist or something I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that was an issue before start there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As per my other thread it needs quite a few bushes done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
