Well sensitive steering it's like as soon as u turn the steering wheel it wants to turn as I said I notice at 60 but worse when I'm at 100 I keep thinking that I'm going to get pulled over cause they'll think I drunk haha

I've changed all my shocks but on the rear cause it's lowerd I couldn't get the nut on on top so I changed the rubbers and from memory they were smaller in thickness and diameter could that have a reason for it that for replys to mate

well your rear suspension (other than your springs and shocks) consists of 4 control arms with rubber bushes, there is also the wats link at the rear of the diff which stops your diff from moving side to side. this also has rubber bushes..
worn bushes= side to side movement = rear end feeling like its loose or as you say snake like.... |

Ok I understand haha I'll b check all that ive never had this problem before and this is my 3rd el but I've never had them lowered or have and LSD diff before so I no that it'll drive different but nothing like ATM. If it is the bushes is it an easy fix to do myself
