I've noticed this I've owned the car (since 95). The car's rear end will swing around on me quite easily. Even after putting new Continental Touring Tires (225/55HR16s), there wasn't much improvement in this area over the original TRXs. Are there any rear suspension pieces that need to be replaced that could be the cause? Any advice or thought will be much appreciated.

Regards,

Hans,

I am surprised as my e23 seems firmly planted. Does the L7 have a rear swaybar? Are you speaking of wet or dry roads? Do you have the LSD?

I agree with Jens as to playing with tire pressure. V or Z tires won't make a difference as that rating is tied to speed, not traction.
