RE: fishtailing?
its not really that im giving it too much gas, i had a friend in it one time and he said i didnt do anything abnormal.
no, the wheel doesnt turn, really nothing strange happens at all whenever it happens..other than my car turning sideways...
i did buy it used, and as you probably kno, mustangs have rear axle problems, so right before i bought it, the axle was changed. what would the solid rear axle do?
i have taken it in to shops and they did what they thought would help, which was putting the new shocks and struts on, but it didnt help much...the guy that had it before me could have put in a solid rear axle, i would kno..what does it look like, would i be able to tell if i have one just by looking?

RE: fishtailing?
is ur idea of fishtailing having the back end of ur car keep turning after the front is done?
i was making a left turn and the back of my car kept going to where i was facing the traffic in the lane next to me..i was perpindicular to them, i whipped it back around trying to gain control, but over compensated, and brought it back around almost 180 degrees so i was almost perpindicular to the curb...then the rear wheels cought and i ran straight over the curb and blew my front right tire...is that what u think of when u think about fishtailing?

yup,if you took it to shops they would have found suspension damage and if your not driving abnormal then thats the only thing that comes 2 mind.

If you are serious you need to look for broken parts or welds.
