c5 rear suspension problem

Post by kris h »

hi all have a problem with c5 estate back of the car seems to hop to the left when turning off of a roundabout near to me not going fast ie 20mph feels like the back comes unglued from the road cant see any leaks from hydraulics spheres are as old as the car 10 years old 132000 miles tyres are ok and replaced arm bearings both sides last year am thinking maybe sphere trouble or rear crossmember rubber mounts these do seem soft other than that no problems with the french tart in 4 years thanks to all in advance for your help

From similar posts on the forum I think you have nailed it with the rear subframe bushes being worn.

Unsuitable tyres and incorrect tyre pressures can cause the same symptoms though.
