not sure on this one, however at the garage the mechanic had his crow bar and went through pulling on most of the parts you can find under the car at the rear end....and he didn't find anything unusual....so yea....guess the odds would be samll

hmm quite possibly your shocks are blown , most places only check to see if they are leaking , not if they are blown , are they original shocks ? if its had alot of weight in there before they most likely could be buggared .

yea they are original shocks, although I would expect the shocks to preform really horribly in all circumstances if they were blown? and im not too sure what you mean by blown shocks, mind explaining it a little?....im kinda noob to all the mechanical stuff haha~

haha i see, but I guess it would still take a bit of speed while cornering to get under steer right? I haven't really done any speedy runs over corners on my BZR yet...(shame on me haha) so yea....i might have to wait till it piss on my drive too LOL
