Honda Civic - rear slides sideways
Hi everybody,
I have a Honda Civic 96 with about 86k miles on it. I have noticed a weird
behavior lately: when I drive over a bump in the road, even slight ones, the
rear wheels briefly slide sideways.
My questions:
1. What is the problem - tires, suspensions?
2. How to fix it, is it costly?
2. Does it need immediate attention, I mean is it dangerous for the car or
passangers?
Thanks
a

check all the bushings & ball joints of the suspension, and the shocks.
tires are possible, but more obvious.

depends what's wrong & whether you do the work yourself!

yes, absolutely. it may not be so bad now it's summer, but in the
winter, that's a /very/ dangerous condition.

This explains then why the car was so unstable on wet roads last winter.
I'll have it fixed ASAP
