handling issues

Postby GinaJ » 28 Sun Sep, 2008 3:01 pm

Okay, i know old cars are not going to handle perfectly, but I have a question anyway. My buggy is a swing axle and it handles pretty good, but when I'm going kinda faster it tends to walk a little bit. Would putting a sway bar on the front help? And does a back sway bar help much as well?

Sway bars are for hard cornering. Most people don't use the on dune buggies which are so light.

I would start by jacking up the front and checking for looseness of the front suspension and tie rods. If that checks out OK then I would have it professionally aligned.
