Need help with body roll....

07-15-2006, 12:01 AM

So anytime I take any kind of, sharp, or gentle turns or really anything with any curve in it at all my tires break traction and my entire car rolls to one side very drasticly....I have heard a few different thoughts as to how to correct this but all of them contradict the others. I would love to hear peoples thoughts on this and how to correct it. thanks.

pfyc.com larger rear swaybar. works great.

Somewhere I found very large stabilizer bars, to the tune of 1-1/8 front and 7/8 rear. Try those with performance poly bushings. Add strut tower braces front and rear, then add lowered springs and low profile tires. squishy suspension components will exaggerate flex, and subsequently put your tires on their corners (between the tread and sidewall). when this occurs, your tires have little traction footprint.

My old Porsche 914 handled like it was on rails with nearly no body roll, but then again, there was nearly 3 grand into the suspension and tires, and it was only about 2" off the ground all the way around.

yea strut tower braces and lowering springs made a huge difference. if ur still not satisfied, like aftermath said, the rear swaybar

If your car is losing traction on a GENTLE curve, you need a lot of suspension work done...

strut tower brace don't do crap but look pretty. the rear swaybar does more than anything. Lowering spring would help too to eliminate the problem (if he/she) wants to lower it.
