sc300 bearing issues
just bought a sc300 got a bearing issue in the rear i think when i try turn to the right or left it feels like im fish tailing its kinda scary when i drive straight its all good but when i drive fast and or turn it starts doing the fish tail movement or wiggle as well as when i try to pick up speed it does it as well, what can that be any suggestions?
I'm going to go on a limb here and say your problem is more than likely in the suspension. You only have this issue when turning and the feeling of "fishtailing" occurs. When you turn a car the weight transfers from side to side and it's possibly your rear shocks are completely gone or the sway links need to be replaced. Of course you can diagnose the issue by putting each corner on a jack and looking around. Try moving the tire and wheel off the ground and see if you feel any play. If not, remove the wheel and inspect the control arms, control arm bushings, and sway bar links.
I'd say get an alignment. Your alignment guy should be able to tell whatever or wherever your problem is. But it doesn't sound like you're having a wheel bearing problem. See what I did there, high five to myself! HA! Wheel bearing problem is more of a sound coming from the wheel bearings, a grinding, loud, annoying sound, that goes away when you turn on a different direction from which wheel it is coming from. You won't really feel any problem, it's just a really loud annoying sound.
