Hi, I recently purchased a 92 240sx, 5 speed and what not. It drives fine and great all the time except when I take left turns at higher speeds. It's a problem that's easily avoidable I suppose. But I'd much, much, rather fix it than just try and ignore it.

Anyway, when I take left turns at higher speeds my car tends to jump through the turn, the back end. It's really loud and really annoying. Anyone know why it's doing this and how I can fix it?

If you need any more info. I'll post when asked. Thank you.

you shocks may be blown... or your rear subframe needs bushings, etc. Could be lots of problems.

Even w/ blown shocks tho... the right driving style can work w/ it .

Rear toe is outta whack.

Get an alignment and report back, that should do it.
