G’day all,
The other day when I was driving I needed to brake suddenly, in traffic. My ute went out sideways, headed for the guardrails and fishtailed before I got it under control.
It’s always been a little “slidey” on gravel and dirt,but this was a bit unexpected on a tarred road and it scared the hell out of my boyfriend who’s worried I’m going to kill myself driving it one day.
Is this normal vs behaviour? I’ve only had the ute a year, and never had to hit the skids quickly in it before.
Could it be anything to do with the fact I have a five poster bullbar, possibly causing a weight imbalance?
Before I do anything I might regret, I just want to see if this is something that’s fixable or if it’s rooted.
