Coming back from shopping this afternoon in the wet and coming out of a roundabout no faster than 30, decided to lift off a bit and the back stepped righttttt out, ended up opposite lock and only
Just catching it. I was laughing like mad, got a right bollocking off the missus though!LOL Cars done 106k probably
On original beam and im wondering whether the mounts are a bit tired, as I must admit I wasn't expecting quite that much sideways action. What's the average mount life if there is one? Anything I should be keeping an eye on?

Probly shagged mounts but the axle itself may well be pretty tired too.

What brand and in what condition are your rear tyres? These might be good place to start if you're getting lift off oversteer in the wet.

It's not an issue, it's a massive advantage. Pity the fools who pay for Alton Towers, just slap some plastic Nangkangs on the rear and go out in the wet.

All the thrills, none of the queuing.
