Hicas Removal Help

[hash87]

Hi all,

I've done the hicas removal as per a guide using lock bar. Got it all done last nite and took it for a drive around the block to see if it was all ok and having real problems. At about 60kph the rear end starts swaying from side to side. It doesnt feel like the rear is out of alignment, it more feels like the rear end is loose and steering itself. IT gets quite bad at 60kph, the rear wheels start screaching a bit from the swaying.

I've jacked the rear end up now and can't see anything wrong with it...all bolts are tight etc.

I took a day off tomorrow to get an alignment done, hence the urgency.

Any ideas?

i would say you need an alignment, even though you may say it dosnt feel like it.

most likely your rear wheels arnt straight as mine weren't

ok i'm beginning to think this is normal. it does look like the rears have a fair bit of toe out...and it makes sense because the lock bar is shorter than the hicas rack. And it makes sense the toe out would create the swaying.
