Is the rear suspention of my '98 406 estate indipentant or got a torsion bar?
I was always under the impression it was independant but looking under the rear wheel arch and it's not got rear springs?
It never bothered me but I noticed when I turn into a corner hard it feels as though the rear wheels are 'steering' the back end of the car, a bit like passive steering.
You turn in hard and it turns then all of a sudden it feels like the back wheels move a few degrees and you turn in even tighter
Anyone got any ideas?

I did wonder about the bushes. Hmmm... I'l get it looked at when I get the engine mounts sorted.

It has independent suspension. The springs are located half way up the swing arms linking the hubs to a mount near the centre of the car
<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang
Turns out it has passive steering. I never knew that
