My rear feels like its fishtailing on the highway
So I just got my car on the road, have bc racing coils , ingals rear camber, and im on 19x10. The car has been on the road for a week now, when I go on the highway the car seems to fishtail in the rear after a bump. Just the rear, what should I get to stop this. Car has alignment btw. Thanks.

How stiff do you have the coilovers set in the rear? If it's bouncing around the rear will become unloaded.. I suppose if this is bad enough it could make the rear feel unstable. I think "fish tailing" is a very subjective term because when I think of this phrase I think of trying to save the car from spinning around on me.

Does it feel like a side to side motion? How old are your Ingalls kits?

Did you just put your coilovers on? Probably just need an alignment. Mine did that after i put coilovers on as well. I was going down Storrow Drive when i noticed the ass end swaying side to side after every little wave in the road. Needed an alignment, but the hardware to the arms was frozen and the adjuster wouldn't budge. So, I picked up new set of LCAs along with hardware and had to cut off the old bolts to install the new ones.
But, the reason it was all over the place is because the Toe was off.
FYI: I don't know if your car makes it on the alignment rack, but mine didn't. Only shops in the area that i know have low racks is Donovans on Pine St. and Town Fair Tire. Good luck.

If the alignment is good, I would check the RSB and endlinks next.. The links used on our cars are pretty flimsy imo. Doesn't take too much to snap one out of its' socket..

Thanks. I believe so, might look into more info before I do. Not that its going to cost me anything, but I want to see if its something else before doing an alignment again.
