370 wheel geometry

Hi guys

 

Just been reading through some of the alignment threads on here unfortunately couldn't find the answers i'm looking for.

 

I have recently had a rear control arm on my car changed and since that have noticed the car acting strange.

 

In wet conditions on drain covers and occassionally on bumps in the road, the cars rear end tends to slide left or right depending on which side hits the drain cover/bump.

 

I have had my geometry checked twice and adjusted the rear toe both times.

 

This has improved it alot, however it still sometimes slides slightly in the wet over drain covers.

 

Just wondered if anyone had any geometry figures on their own cars, or if they've noticed this at all.

 

I have the back wheels toed slightly out, but maybe I need more?

 

Any advice welcome.

The handling itself is fine, I may add some more camber at some point. However the main problem is the fact the back wheels slide to the side when going over wet drain covers.

 

Just wondered if anyone else has had this before.

Without trying to sound patronising.....wet drain covers are slippy why wouldn't you spin up on them?

It's not spinning, whenever the back wheels drive over them the cars back end slides slightly left or slightly right.

 

I just wondered if anyone else had noticed it happen to them before

Is this not normal in all RWD cars? Is it possible that you hadn't noticed it before, but now that you've have a little work to your car, you have a heightened awareness?

+1.

 

Always happens to me, though I have mixed budget tyres with low tread, so maybe not the most reliable source :lol:
