[HELP] Iriz Rear End Hopping

Hi all sifus,

Currently, while I take corners (medium long / long corners) on uneven pavement or motorway with expansion joints or mild uneven surface at 50km/h or less, the rear end will skip or hop. Also I neither accelerate nor brake during cornering.

I have looked up on cars with torsion beam suspension. Some of them experienced such complications while others are close to none. Also, there are no concrete direct solutions which can curb this problem.

Any recommendations or advice please?

Thank you.

yes stock suspension.

Some expansion joint is overlay with concrete.
Nope the VSC light didn't blink.

So to change tyre and suspension?

Front 32 psi and rear 30psi, driving alone all the time.
My normal cornering speed is equal or less than 40km/h on medium long or long corners. If sharp turns, it will be definitely lower than 10km/h. Cornering wouldn't be fun anymore :(

I try lowering the tyre pressure

can it be done on my own? or I need to consult a mechanic for such service?

^pomen_GTR^ said:

check your tyre pressure first...

set at around 180-210kpa max for rear tyre



if still not sufficient.... then u can try retrofit softer rear spring....probably from 1st model myvi

Will get back with updates should such problem persists.

Updates:

Readjusted tire pressure back to stock recommended settings.

Have been driving in and out for one week, rear skipping during cornering at commoner's speed (30-40km/h)is still noticeable.

Any advice please?

During cornering with no braking and constant acceleration or sometimes no acceleration on mild uneven roads or small expansion joints on motorway (very prominent on MEX highway), I felt that one of the rear tire is lifted and soon when either one tire gain traction quickly, the rear end will skip (slight slide without tyre squirm) and I can feel it in my steering too.
(For example, if I turn right, the rear end skips left and vice versa).

Some call it snap oversteer or lift off oversteer

Having said so, this incident doesn't trigger the VSC and it is still controllable.

Let me know if you need more clarification.
