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?

as far as i can see off service box its a spring and a shock absorber hope this helps

Rear bushes on the way out?

just a thought.

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

the torsion bar set ip on pugs are indipendent anyway.

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

Turns out it has passive steering. I never knew that
