Are there ruts in the road? The larger tires on Camaros tend to track quite a bit with the road surface.

+1 TA and the Camaro are two different animals at speed.

I've noticed this lately too but only after the new motor installed and end-links put back in. We have 3 adjustments on the rear sway so I think may have been put on a different adjustment than before or has to be adjusted now considering new motor is heavier.

with stabillitrac active you cant fishtail if you had to. ill bet it was just the groove in the road.

Maybe your just switching lane to fast and to aggressively.

The tires on these dont like water very much do they.

Check Air Pressure. All around. Despite what the display says. I've seen air pressure abnormalities account for lots of erratic behavior.

I’m having this problem now switching lanes and seems to fish tail in back actually now seem. To do this a lot while driving 65+ trying to figure out what it is now . Just did a whee Alignment and it helped a lil but still got the sway felling while I drive what could be this problem .

In no particular order . . .

tired shocks or bushings

rear wheel bearing

alignment

tire inflation pressures

overly enthusiastic steering and/or throttle inputs for conditions

Scrub with the front, steer with the rear.

wait, what was the qwerstion?

InFiD3ViL · 07-26-2021, 01:43 PM

My guess would be worn/mushy bushings or a broken/worn end link.

I was hoping for more input and info. as I feel the same with my car. My suspension has been upgraded and all the bushings are like new. My ZL1 would fish tail if I got on it, took it in for an alignment it helped allot but my butt still feels like it kicks out to the left and when a rear tire runs over a man hole cover or a bump it still feels like ass end jumps to the side. I am still using the mag ride struts and I have approx. 10,000 mile on the car.

The first pic is over exaggerated to make a point, the second pic is the before and after alignment.

Poly or solid cradle bushings help keep the rear end where it belongs. The only other time I felt one of my cars' rears want to move in either direction was due to low tire pressure in a rear tire.
