quattroporte 06 rear end issues

[tony haynes]

Hi all, New to this forum, Very much enjoyed reading all the views and events etc. However i wondered if anyone can help with the issue i have on my 55 plate Quattroporte. mileage is 25k and all in gtreat working all (fingers crossed here) clutch changed at 17k so all good so far. apart from one thing! i appear to have an issue with side ways movement from the the rear end of the car while driving. I guess this is a bush that has let go but does anyone know the most likely cause. Would be most greatfull.
thanks tony

No strange noises of any kind, when and what are the circumstances it happens......

no strange noises of any kind. very jittery on road at speed. had a couple of mates in car last week and they said it felt weird with sideways movement. no rear impacts or wheels curbed

Hi Tony,
Welcome to the forum...
I know it may sound obvious, but check the basics yourself...tyre pressures and wheel bolts...
think the other bits need checking by a main dealer or independant, could be any of the bushes or may be the shocks,
Regards,
Enzo.

Could be suspension geometery out, the car gets quite twitchy. You may need a full wheel alignment .

Welcome to the forum Tony...

 

[tony haynes]

thanks for all the replies. i was already thinking about a full geometry check. Guess this is a good place to start. BTW the car is lovely in every way and make me smile every time i drive!!!!

Tony, a list of indies from whom to seek advice, Loughborough is nearest to you? Not sure who might have the type of high tech set up the QP would need but am sure they can advise.
