car rear end sliding. Sign In

I have a front wheel drive 95 Galant. 1 week back i ran up on a curb in the snow. It made a super loud thud and then both right side tires blew. Now after putting some used tires on it there is an issue when pavement is dry drives ok. Then when its wet any thing over 35 mph and the back end keeps sliding all over the road where I cant handle the car at all. What can be wrong that it would only do that in the wet pavement. It is a really bad sliding. It has slid me across several lanes at 40 mph. So like on wet pavement its like the back of the car is a wagging tail rapidly sliding back in forth.

you either bent something when you nailed the curb

or your used tires are directional tires that are running backwards causing severe hydroplaning

sorry forgot to log in again.

you can easily check your tires. unidirectional tires will have some sort of arrow with the word rotation on it.

Agree with Dmac


You either bent something or broke something.

Just had a Jaguar do this exact same thing...all over the road at highway speeds and OMG on wet pavement.
The right rear lower control arm had snapped in half...

Get this looked at ASAP...IT is unsafe to drive in this condition...
