Twitchy rear?
« on: November 07, 2009, 18:31:31 »
I just picked up a 95 SWB Vitara Sport 2. I had a SWB JX a few years ago and loved it. The problem is the handling on this one seems a bit twitchy. I was getting pulled from side to side on the motorway, and going over bumps in the road makes the rear end all out of shape and requires some wrestling with the steering wheel! Any idea what could be causing this? It has wide tyres which my old one didnt.

Also, it feels a LOT slower than my old one, it struggles to hit 70 and acceleration is very poor. The gears change is quite notchy and hard to put in gear when it is cold. Any help?
