    Default Massive oversteer

    Hi GUYS I have a 2002 clubsport i,ve owned it for about 5yrs. It,s developed a massive oversteer problem when going around left hand corners , I,ve had the wheel alignment checked , we had it up on a hoist at garage and checked all suspension and steering and can,t find any thing wrong ,all the suspension bushes are nolathene.the mechanic thought it might be a LSD Diff problem . Its really scary to drive makes your heart skip a beat . CAN ANYONE HELP ? CHEERS.
    P.S it only does it when going left.

    Ease up on the right foot action could help a little...

    Seriously, If the suspension & tyres are all OK then it's LSD.

    Good luck with it.

    It sounds like a suspension issue which has simply not been identified . (I'd also thoroughly re-check the rear alignment).

    If the standard suspension has been fiddled with or modified in any away it is all the more likely an area to investigate more thoroughly with a competent suspension specialist.

    As for the theory that there is a diff problem I would be curious to hear an explanation as to what the diff would be doing to cause a severe oversteer condition on left turns, what the malfunctioning or damaged parts in the diff were that caused such action , why this would only occur when the vehicle turns left, why the diff sounds like it is operating normally rather than noisily grinding or chattering itself towards failure....etc. etc...?
