Steering, Suspension, Brakes, Wheels & Tyres
when i go around corners, usually a left hand bend, the back of the car seems to be about to slide out. if cornering at speed im sure it will slide out. we checked all bushings,bars and welds, basically gave the car a through check to no avail. everything is tight as a nut. even steering alignment. any help will be appreciated

You say " it seems to be about to slide out " and " im sure it will slide out" , has it actually done it ? What speed are you talking about ? Checked tyres for tread , size , pressures etc. ?Are all the tyres the same ?

it hasnt slid out, but it feels like driving a rwd car in the snow, like the back end is about to shoot out. approx speeds of 30to 60mph. checked tyres. they been on the car 2 years. this problem only recently appeared. i removed both rear shocks, tested then and swopped them over. still no different

There is a bush behind the hub that sits inside the rear suspension arm. not visible but can go . jack up rear of car and check for movement at the rear wheel.
