Rear Steer after lowering springs - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

2010 Camaro SS M6
I did BMR 1.25 Lowering Springs, Trailing Arms, Toe Rods and Strut Bolts, aligned it to good specs that everyone suggest and it drives great and rides as expected.
My issue is if I launch from a light or go through the gears hard the rear is all over the road. The rear will drive to the left under hard acceleration and then go back to the right as well. In the seat it just feels like the rear of the car is steering back and forth really bad. I have double checked, everything is tight so very confused.

Anyone had this issue or thoughts on what to do?

I do all my own work and expierenced doing it, but just at a loss as to what to look for.

Any help is appreciated and thanks ahead of time!!

Cradle bushings? Inserts should be enough if on stock power.

I had a very similar problem with my rear coilover height. I took the rear rims off and found that the tires were literally rubbing agaisnt the plastic wheel well liner. I cut those out and raised the rear of the vehicle some. I never had the issue again. I had all the suspension mods and the CCw rims in my sig at the time. Maybe this may help. Goodluck.

Well I figured it out, they were checked and double checked, but for some reason the Toe Rods at knuckle had backed out and were a little loose. Just enough thenonly time there was an issue was under load. Went through everything again and all good now!
Thanks for he help!!
