Got my new car. Really pleased - looks great and sounds fantastic.

One issue - it is incredibly crashy over poor surfaces and seems to 'snake' a bit under even slight power in high gears.

An example would be sitting at 70 in 6th and a sharp jab on the throttle the car feels as if one wheel gets power first and for a split second it rises to the right, when you come off power it corrects to the left. If you keep the power on its fine and its all over in a split second.

From reading stuff I thought it may be suspension bushes or strut braces but I am a complete novice on mechanical stuff. I am fairly sure these things( the crashy ride and the 'snaking') are connected.

Any thoughts for a newbie owner?

It has FSH and also a warranty so its more an inconvenience than a worry.

Thanks in advance.

Did some more searching. Sounds like the RTABS?
