My apology to Spencer, I edited the post. It was originally something along the lines of a Macpherson strut suspension. I just wanted it to sound funnier. Sorry guys for the confusion, Marc

I'm guessing that you didn't read my posts, number 8 and 21
Sorry didn't read those posts, when I began writing the reply those posts were not there, I now see that meanwhile others have replied, including you.

So...I guess the 944 does not have the stiffest suspension out there but its an 80s car..roads were even more crap back then...or at least that's what i'm told
Check if your sway bars are connected and if their bushings are ok.
An alignment makes a big difference on these cars.
I had a small incident about 6 years ago sliding out of the road and into a small ditch. Had to replace both front and rear right arms and do an alignment.
Paid a shop to do the alignment and ended up with a car that was unstable and loosing grip very easy.
Took the car to a serious alignment shop and the same car tracked like it was on rails from then on.
What Khumo are you using? Its winter now at least here, and if you are asking summer tires to do traction in the winter...well you wont get it.
