Problems with rear of car.

I feel like my cars rear shifts when doing turns on the highway. I understand that its forward wheel drive. and I usually take the ramps at 45mph. Its not a tight ramp, so 55 mph would be fine as well. SHould I change the rear sway?


I have a 06 LX coupe.

I had this same problem. I bought a Si rear sway bar and it fixed that and alot more. I let my buddy drive my car and i couldnt of said what he said any better myself "This is the way a car should feel"

Keep a eye on the 8thCivic auto mall, theres usually a Si sway bar up for sale in there.
