I thought all Smurfs had a twitchy rear end!
I had to be careful going around cornesr in the damp in my old 2nd gen and it's the same with my '96 3rd. Just figured that it's a lot of grunt for essentially a RWD truck.Damian

I'd vote for checking the tyres too - my 3rd gen tried to kill me a couple of times The tyres were rock hard and the slightest bit of damp had the back end all over the place without trying !
Chucked on a set of Gen Grabber AT2's and she was a totally different drive
Life is too important to take seriously !

I had a Saab 9-5 a few years back when I was doing 30-40K a year. Went through tyres like no tomorrow. So I thought I'd give a very cheap set a go. They were Linglong L688s. £50 a corner or thereabouts.
I ran them for about 6K and got shut. They were appaling in the wet. A real liability. They must have been made out of some diamond/tungsten compound, there was hardly any wear on them when I binned them, the tyre fellas though I was daft to get shut.
I would have been even dafter to keep them!Surf if you got a wave. Wave if you got a Surf.™
