Guys,

Last two mornings in a row, turned out my street and start getting up to 60mph.

After 30mph a loud knocking/vibrating sound starts and gets louder the faster you go.

At first it was that loud I thought it was the engine, but as i slow down to 25-30 mph the sound stopped and the engine was revving fine.

I think it was coming from the back right of the car. Someone has suggested rear caliper sticking?

I know its not the common bushes problem because I have that too, but this is REALLY REALLY loud.

Once I slowed down to about 25-30 after about 100-200 metres its fine and doesn't do it again.

It also doesn't do it on the way home (start off in a 30 zone for a good couple of miles) so warming it up seems to stop it...

Any ideas?

just to let you all know this issue has now been resolved.

once the cv joint was replaced the hold to the right came straight back.

Cheers

Some interesting facts in those replies. It could of potentially been the front wheels sliding then the back just followed. But the first time it happened the rear did come out (since then I have had the rear toe and thrust line corrected).

Bulldog, thought it may have been oil, gravel or something on the road, but before I had the adjustments it did it on any road (if it was atleast damp and it was a right turn).

I tried to recreate the problem the other day and again at quite a low speed again far right exit on a different roundabout it seemed the road turned to glass, because I was expecting this it was corrected quickly but the back end did NOT come out this time the whole car just slid. So I guess that was the rear toe.

This has only happened when turning right, and its nothing to do with speed, its to do with how far I turn the wheel. It seems a lot easier to turn to the right, than to the left. And when turning to the left I have really pushed it and she sticks like glue.

I'm not trying to pi$$ anyone off btw, this is for mine and my familys safety in the car, nothing to do with anyones sanity...

Oh and dont doubt my love for the car please. (she might hear you).

Dude, its not my intention to bring it back up. Simply to let others know I have had the experience. I'm not doubting your experience either but just because it hasn't happened to you doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

It could be any number of things on my car that caused it. No doubt something is broken that caused it (im pretty sure the car was used for rally track days prior to me getting it).

And as for my terminology,.. who cares,. skidding sliding drifting loose tail. Either way the car was at a harsh angle not usually driven at whilst doing 20mph. Im not stupid I know thats not right. But it happened.

So thanks for the VERY helpful reply.

After reading the now closed "body roll" topic I just want to add that I can make my 94 SSII JDM 2.0 Celica (3sge) drift around a round-a-bout (these simplify big junctions in the uk)...

I was doing about 20mph driving like miss daisy in third gear barely touching the acceleration and my back end came right out whilst on a 2/3 lock of the wheel to the right.... It came out so bad I drifted the last 1/3 of the round-a-bout off to my exit... very cool and extremely scary....any doubters and I will take you for a spin myself (if you live near of course) and er prove it...

Any I was defo driving carefully because the missis was in the car...

I have had the front shocks changed and the anti roll bar bushes since, also waiting for the cv joints to be changed,.. I can still make it do it but have to work harder now.

just for the record.

Cheers
