no, i am sorry, (oh goodyear tires) nothing special. but it's not the axel, i guess i didn't make myself clear, ya know how when you peel out and your back end (sometimes) fishes around, well it does that, but i ain't going fast or anything like that, i don't think it would have anything to do with the axel.s<b>*§*Julian*§*</b><br />*~*~*~<br />2000 Grand Prix GTP -Daytona 500 Edition (only 2000 made) - Supercharged 3.8L V6<br /><br />1998 3.8L V6 A4 Firebird w/ W68 package, Y87, T-TOPS!<br /><br /><a href=\"http://myweb.usf.edu/~jadidona/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">MY SITE - CHECK IT!</a>

My car does this too...I went to the RedlineVsix meeting...and we were coming outta dragway 42's rear entrance everyone was peeling out makin all kinds of noise...then theres me...nail out with the wheel turned EVER so slightly and i get a fishtail like a mofo. I think its the goodyears. Ive got GT2's on my car right now and they are REAL easy to get spinning.2001 Black S10 Xtreme 4.3L A4<br />*RedLineVSix*<br />\"Throwin sparks, draggin frame\"

You may have a cracked (and therefore disconnected) front sway bar endlink. Or unbalanced sway bars. That would TOTALLY lead to the situation you're observing -- oversteer without spinning. Remember, jerk the wheel, the rear WILL SPIN. You've got to address this immediately. Check your front sway bar endlinks, and then measure the diameter of the front and rear bars. if you DON'T get 35/25, 35/21, 32/21, 30/19, 30/17, or 28/15, you've got to switch bars. Drop a line back here after this -- as the oversteering condition is scary. I had it for a while as I did my rear bar to 21mm first, before upgradng my front to 32mm.
