Default fishtailing problem,,

well everytime i drive my car and if the road is wet my cars rear end would slide.. it feels like it fishtails and i get hella scared sometimes... even if im jus goin straight at about 45-50 mph and the road is really wet my car would slide and i would always have to counter steer... the car has been in a minor accident b4 i got it and i think the rear passenger side suspension could be jacked but idk... also i put new tires in the back and for some reason the back passenger side tire would eat up so fast and the thread wear is so weird because the half tire would wear evenly until i turn it and there is a bald spot on the tire... this happend to 2 tires already and i had to repalce them in about 5 months... its hard to explain but if ill try to show pics to show u all.. n e one have dis problem... help..

Or completely replace the suspension. If i had an accident with in the front or rear suspension, i would forsure replace, unless you have all ready done that and you are just wondering what to do next. Definately an allignment, i used to hydroplane alot on tires that had any type of bald spots and it wasn't fun.

my suggestions, go get an alignment, check suspension measurements, then go to a suspension shop that specializes in shit like that, and go with that.

good luckh:

yep, check out your suspension, everything. get under there and make sure everything is right. if you're unsure or how things are supposed to look, compare left vs. right.

and yeah, bring it to an alignment shop. if they can't align it for you, due to things being out of wack, they'll tell you.
