Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

OK, I have a 2001 turbo. When I am on the freeway hard on the gas the car rocks from side to side. If I get off the throttle it is fine, no problem, but it has been so bad at times I thought I would have lost control. I have had this with stock wheels and tires and aftermarket wheels and tires. Stock ride height and lowered ride height (with springs) I suppose the only thing I have not changed is the rear shocks ? Has anyone else had this issue ? Thanks Ed

POST 2Original post

When was your last alignment check? Wear on suspension parts? After I had mine checked I still has some wandering. higher tire pressures helped. 36.5 front and 40.0 rear. (see tires below) Check your motor and transmission mounts. I'm not sure what the process is for the motor mounts:-( unless you remove them and check how much force it takes to move the support stud. Should be very stiff. I just changed my motor mounts on my '99 C4. Right one started leaking oil when I raised the rear end to put a 160 degree thermostat in. Turns out the one that showed no signs of leaking was totally shot. With new mounts in place the car tracks better. Tire and road noise are reduced, with H&R springs and 19 inch wheels w/ Potenza RE050A's. The FabSpeed mufflers are also quieter at cruising throttle. Let us know what you find. Good Luck.
