Back end feels weird on my xantia
Hi guys well in the last few days if i steer the car left the o/s/r of the car flings in and when im on the motorway it gets bad the and is hard to to keep control of.Can anyone tell me what this could be.Thanks
Checked the tyre pressures ?
If not that then it could be a failed radius arm bearing ? Look at the car from the back about 20 ft away , if one or both of the wheels is leaning in at the top it's radius arm bearings.

Checked the sphere on both rear corners? Unlike a broken steel spring, with a flat sphere you don't get a 'droopy' corner, just little or no suspension movement. the only 'spring' you're left with is the tyre!
I 'killed' a n/s/r sphere by going over a raised cattle grid a bit fast - narrowly avoided taking to the open common on landing! This prompted a swift change of all the spheres - after 12 years, long overdue.
