How did you end up going with this problem?
 
Is the wobbling constant or will it sort of happen randomly?
 
My hardtop is giving me the ****s right as we speak - it will sort of find a groove in the road then do some sort of funky flick at the rear end. Not much fun after a long shift and the car wants to surprise me with weight shifts...

i still havent figred out what it is, thats how often i drive the car nowdays lol.
suspecting balljoints are worn out or the RCA's are causign them
but the car doesnt do what yours is doing so for your query i would be checking all the usual stuff thats been mentioned to me in this thread
swaybars, end links, ball joints or just go to a specialist and save the headache lol

if you haven't gotten the car fully aligned by a good suspension mob i would recommend doing so first be fors playing with the settings of the dampening wont change anything. by what it sounds like the rear has to much toe in and is causing the rear to wander, as well as too much camber. i would recommend getting it done by pedders in dandenong as they do a really good job and they will be aligning my car when i upgrade my suspention/wheels in the next few weeks,
before they align the car they go over it to see if any components are worn or faulty then they align the car after problems have been corrected.

That drastic an issue sounds like it's still a product of alignment. I'd take it to a specialist (whoever is highly recommended in VIC). Sounds a lot like toe issues to me too.
 
What tyre pressures are you running & how often do you check?

Thanks fellas
i have got an alignment done and its a bit better but still i feel something is a bit missing
the effect is more like a pendulum effect of car rear end not settling down if driven violently lol.
i didnt get a print sheet of what the alignment was done to. so i cant give you any info on that.
its defenitly toed in,  in the rear as the front of the rear wheel is facing inward then the back of the rear wheel. if that makes sense.
 
dont really know what tyre pressure its on atm. but it was recommended i run 38psi or so on the tyres i have (federal SS)

How often do you check tyre pressure?

How new are your federals too? I find the 595SS takes a good 5-6k kms to really settle down, otherwise they feel quite floaty. after the 5-6k run in they a decent tyre for the money.

they are probably around the 8k mark maybe more.
the alignment was done by zerogk on the forums, i took it to him specifically cause he tracks his AW11 so should know what to do.
it wasnt just a normal tyre joint..
but might give pedders a go and see what they say.
