Snap Oversteer?

Re: Snap Oversteer?

Im not sure but its pretty big. So, basically guys, if I change my front sway bar, then that should get rid of this snap oversteer?

Not necessarily...what I meant was that it might help balance the handling between the front and rear. And it might make it handle slightly better. Though, you may very well still have an ill-handling car if, as stated above, your springs and shocks aren't matched more closely to the size of your sway bars.

So if I have between a 23 mm-25 mm REAR anti roll bar, I need to change the front springs or rear springs? I also heard that the polyurethane bushings in the rear are bad too?

Sway bars effectively increase spring rates to the wheel that is on the outside of the corner. You want a properly balanced swaybar setup. You're asking for an accident, especially if you have to evade or make a quick lane change or correction until you put that front bar in.

You can get away with putting a larger swaybar setup with stock rate springs up to a point. Installing the bilsteins is a help as I stated, the bigger swaybars increase the spring rate on that corner, so you need a shock to help balance that out.

A good suspension will have a properly valved shock to work with a set of springs/swaybars. People start experiencing issues mixing and matching swaybars from one vendor with springs/shocks from another that aren't designed to work together.
