OK as i put my foot down, my sup seems to pull right slightly, but when i take my foot off there is quite a marked sharp pull to the left???? Anyone come across this before???? Is it a bush thing????

Possible mate have you lowered it without re-aligning caster and camber and are ya tyre pressure's ok

It was lowered when i first got it and i've had no problems with it at all (until now). Its definatley the rear end getting loose??

I would be very interested to know what this prob is, Recently I drove my sister-in-laws mondeo, absolutely no mods and it does the same, quite disturbing really.

A rear subframe/bush issue I reckon.

Went to a friends who has an accurate tyre guage this morning, i've got 225/40-18's all round and wasn't sure of the pressures, anyway tried all four wheels.

N/S/F 28 PSI
N/S/R 26 PSI
O/S/F 30 PSI
O/S/R 10 PSI

You can't visably see the difference as the side walls are so small :banghead:

Took it out for a drive this afternoon and it's fine, guess who feels a total TWAT now :banghead:

Thanks for all your suggestions though :)

come on we all know that crap handling came as standard with a V-Max, letting the tyres down and dropping the oil outta your forks probably improved it :duck: :)
