hicas or shocks???

[skyhigh!]

have a problem with the handling in the rear of my 32 gtst. when i turn my wheel a bit it feels as though the back end is real loose. m just wondering does the hicas work this way or does it sound like i need new shocks in the rear.??? :headspin:

How easy is it to "bounce" the rear end? If you jump on the rear and it keeps bouncing, then the shocks are shot.

if your shocks are seized, like mine were, when you "bounce" them, it feels rock hard and doesn't keep bouncing at all. but when i pulled them out it was clear that they were stuffed. now the rear end feels much better with bilsteins.

try running hicas diagnostics first though

skyhigh: HICAS will feel like you're losing traction on the back end for a second, which then re-catches itself... if that makes any sense.

Bung shocks will be all over the place any time, regardless of cornering or driving straight.

yeah i think it must be the hicas then, cause its doing what you said. when drivin on the highway if you turn the wheel just a little bit the front turns,then its as though the rear swings itself around. it feels as though im "crab walkin" when i change lanes.

Yup, it's HICAS. The R32 hydraulic HICAS is a bit more hamfisted than the later Super HICAS versions... best to get a lock bar and just remove the damn thing. Do a search in here to find out how to do it for a 32.

cheers mate. at least i know what it is now.

And since I'm such a good bloke, I can help you fix it.

I'd take a look at the subframe bushes as well and maybe get some pineapples or lock bushes to tighten it up.
