feels like the backend is sliding out ?

have a 1lt v6 6m with 4500 miles on it
for the 1st 3500 miles the car would go around corners like it was on a rail.now the same with left hand turns .BUT right handers the car feels like the backend is slidingout .the tires are gripping just fine but the feeling is there. checked air pressure and lug nuts there ok. tired with traction and stability controls off didn't help .no shakes or vibrations pulls slightly to the left-- alignment off a little possible
any ideas ???

My new SS is EXACTLY the same.

I never noticed it on the 2LT, so the day i got the SS I turned around a corner and the back flew out and I almost lost it.

I blame the fact I wasnt used to driving all the extra horses, it hasnt happened since, but i DO still feel it.

EDIT: I should mention the car has 4200 miles.

Working on it. Waiting for a day the weather is nice. It's been raining 24/7 in Florida, I'll get a new sig once I can take pictures.

If that happened to me I would have all the bolts holding the rear subframe checked to make sure they are torqued down to spec.

If you routinely do donuts, then you might be making the rear end loose.

Happens to all of us with age.

Seriously though, I have 4000 miles and the grip is still there when I do U-turns, unless I go hard on the gas, or its raining. Interesting issue you have.
