Hey, my A32/I30 is fishtailing at high speeds and it's beginning to freak me out. Anybody at this problem before or know what it could be?

Check Alignment, suspension, and your wheel balance. It could also be that your tires have uneven wear (Due to bad alignment or bad suspension).

Just my $.02

I don't know, that sound crazy. I would at least stop dirving at high speed till you find out what up.

I agree with Sycefiro.
If you had uneven wear on your tires and then rotated them to the rear you will have a lateral lean on the rear of the car. if its a sudden pull while driving, I would check the rear suspensin and make sure all the bolts are tight and the bearings to see if there is play in them. a good way to check this is barely lift the car off the ground with a jack so the tire is a few cm off the ground and give the top of the wheel a good tug. the whole car should wiggle a little, if just the wheel wiggles then you might have a bad bearing.

be safe.

oh or the geometry of the car might be off, you can have the frame measured and adjusted.

Took the ride down to Nissan to get it checked out, apparently my rear-right shock is leaking so that's gonna be a bummer. I'm hoping that's all it is...

Maybe now is a good time to upgrade the suspension???

I dont think the shock would make you experience such fishtailing, unless by high speeds you are talking 100+mph. If you are experiencing this on the highway at moderate speeds, like 65-75mph, then the shock isnt the issue. Let me know what happenes...

bugz_nz

Yeah, high speeds down the highway, it would be fine and then suddenly it would feel like the back was pulling away from the front in a sideways direction. Very scary, found myself driving like a granny down the road. My right rear shock came up as leaky when they checked it. Have since had it replaced and all seems to be fine although I haven't had a chance to open it up fully yet.


Don't be tempting me with suspension upgrades.... I'm a poor little worker elf.

I know my car shakes at high speed (About 70 mph it starts to be felt)
After Changing a tie-rod and ball-joint because i was told they wer no good, i found out that its just the stupid front right tire that has a big dent it the rim that is causing the shaking (althought the tie-rod and ball joint were in need of a change anyways)... sorry i know it doesnt have to do with fishtailing, although i do feel my car is slightly fore unstable than usual. Sorry for hogging your thread, just expressing frunstration for lost $$$$ (After a night without sleep and way too much energy on my hands)
