R32 Gts4 Handling Issues

The back end of my r32 gts4 feels like its drunk, basically if I were to go over a bump at 60k's or so the back end feels like its snaking. Another way to describe it, if I were to have my HICAS un-presurised and have the internal shaft sitting loose inside there so it moves around when I drive thats what It feels like. I've recently bought one of these HICAS LOCK SHIM KITS, where I basically put a washer on either end of the solenoid so it stops moving left and right. Thought that would fix the issue but it still feels like crap, I get it at higher speeds aswell, out of fear for my safety I usually slow down..

Any Idea's? I run it in 2WD most times, but I dont think its related to that.. Maybe dodgy bushes?? but I just had my warrant of fitness renewed (sorry if aussie's dont call it that but NZ does) and they passed them fine.

I assume the shim kit has locked the HICAS completely, I was going to install a proper lock bar but after getting stuffed around by the seller I decided against it.

arghh help. Cant goto a track day with it like this.

Did you align it after fiting the kit? The toe changes massively.

no I havent yet, I have it booked in for Monday for wheel alignment. Just didnt think alignment was going to make it drive this way. But you raise a valid point, I definitely overlooked it.

could also be the inner or outer rack ends for the rear steer, or the rear ball joints at the hub. Just because you lock hicas doesn't exclude movement/wear in the other parts. But I'll agree with Gary, alignment is most likely the problem

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      There's actually quite a bit of aftermarket for automatic/manual tyre deflater/inflater systems ... many will have seen YT vids of trucks on tropical forest roads (read: mud), with air lines leading from the chassis/bed down to a hub piece, which in turn connects to the tyre valves ...most of the time only used on the drive axles, to adjust tyre pressures and get some grip....(bit like letting air out of a 4WD to get traction on loose dirt/sand)...

      I believe Unimog is the only vehicle that has it (from the manufacturer). I haven't seen aftermarket permanently connected kits, but I haven't looked either.

      Ha ha ha, can't overthink when exhausted... Oh how I wish I had that power! I can be absolutely dead set shot, and my brain will still go "we need a good 3 or 4 hours to just think about everything and anything before you may sleep... My biggest thing is making sure I give myself enough sleep. I don't operate on even 7 hours of sleep! I attempt to give my body 9.5hours sleep a night to be able to function. I don't sleep the whole 9.5, but I need to make sure I offer a big window. I also take a single supplement, which is to help with long term health, and fighting inflammation, and I notice it helps massively. Especially me sleeping, and just less "achey" in the body. Have also kicked sugar, and gluten. A majority of people with ADHD don't go well with gluten. It causes a really interesting natural opioid overdose in the brain, which causes bodily issues and sensory issues.

      Yeah that's what I meant, permanently connected not manual

      Yep. But typically that's just run a hose down to the tyre while stationary.   Oh and the Unimog will automatically air up and air down tyres from the onboard computer for you too.
