Worth a visual exam first.

Thats next on the list when the weather improves and I`m not working, I also want to inspect the rear dampers too.

I'm starting to wonder if this is a failure or just monumentally bad tyres of F***en proportions. :-\

Anyone tried KU39s on an Omega on 235/45/17?

Will get under it and have a look at the rear bushes later in the week though.

I think bad tyres exaggerate the problem, I had some cheap crappy ditchfinders on that came with the car, downright dangerous in the wet. Goodyear Eagle F1`s have helped but not cured, so that leaves diff mounts, rear wishbone bushes or rear dampers.
I don`t think it will be the void bush because it`s designed to move anyway, I changed the ones on my Senator after 250k and it didn`t make an ounce of difference so thats my last port of call.
I don`t think it will be a rear damper, it doesn`t drive like one has failed so that only leaves the diff mounts an dinspection will have to wait until the weather fairs up and I have the time.

Maybe won't help. But ime if tyres misbehave its in a straight line. An overly compliant tyre is usually fine in the corners, as any slop in tyre construction is taken up by side load.

I have KU39s in 16" size - no problems from me.

Finally got around to tackling these ::)

1. Old ones off...


2. Rubber burnt off, cleaned up ready to go...


3. Bolt hole filled with wax...


4. Subframe location masked off, ready to mould...


5. Finished product front...


6. ...And rear...


Not perfect, but better than what was/n't attached before. I hope :-\

That's the obvious bit done.
No you need to bolt them on the car, and see just how durable they are.

Watching this with interest.
