paul_h Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 right, to cut a long story short i bought a supra TT without an engine. I had a falling out with the garage who where going to fit an engine and refit any parts that had been removed by them so they supplied my with the shell and a big box of bits. i have got the car on the road now but it has a major problem with the back end wobbling all over. The best way i can describe it would be like when the front tramlines due to larger alloys only much more violent and its coming from the rear causing the car to skip side to side. This has made the car undriveable and very very unsafe. it does this with the stock 16" wheels and tyres and also with the 18" alloys i have. i have just had a 4 wheel alignment done so know its not that. Its more prominent when going round a bend and when the autobox changes up or down. I think that about describes it so does anyone have any idea where to start looking? thanks paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Subframe bushes/bolts? Suspension arms? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_h Posted October 10, 2009 Author Share Posted October 10, 2009 i dont think it would be them but i will check, the car before the garage got hold of it had a single conversion done running big power so there is no way it could have been driven as it is now, it wouldnt have stayed on the road all the gargae did was remove the engine and diff (according to them !!) and i got hold of a new engine and diff and fitted those. the diff i got did look a little old and rusty, would a knackered diff cause such problems? paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Think about it, what holds the rear wheels in line, suspension arms/bushes/subframe. Unless your wheels are loose... Doesnt matter what the diff looks like on the outside, its whats inside that counts. Plus the diff is mounted on the subframe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 What if the diff has been welded up by some drifter type? Who and where did you buy it from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_h Posted October 10, 2009 Author Share Posted October 10, 2009 the diff is supposed to be the diff out of L33's car but i'm not convinced, it was lying around at the gargae that is doing some work for him. i need to get it up in the air and have a look. i will report back tomorrow with any findings, i was just after peoples opinions on where to start looking i will check all the bolts / bushes in the rear suspension for play and check the wheel bearings etc see what i can find paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
