Hi All
I have noticed that my 2008 Pre-facelift QP V Sport GTS (this has Bilstein suspension not Skyhooks) has a tendency for the back end to give a bit of a “wiggle” (I don’t know how else to describe it) when you abruptly lift off after very hard acceleration - it doesn’t feel excessive or dangerous but I am a little surprised by it.
Is this just a characteristic of the car with 2 tonnes shifting its weight around or is it indicative of a problem?
The car is in a local (non specialist) garage today just to have the straight pipes swopped back to the original silencers, so I have asked them just to have a quick check of the rear end to see if there is any play in the bushes etc.
Also the rear tyres are both low (just legal) and are old - could this contribute to this odd handling?
Many thanks,
Tim
