Rear end bouncing under hard cornering?

Post by Mr OCD »

Anyone had this one the standard suspension?

To be fair I'm coming from a Leon Cupra with well sorted suspension, the Scirocco handles superb but under hard cornering the rear end seems to bounce around a bit. Anyone know why?

I'm going to check the dampers this weekend whilst I have the wheels off for detailing, but any suggestions appreciated.

Yeah standard dampers ... Only had the car a few weeks so not checked alignment yet.

Dampers are in good condition.
