Hi all,

the back end of my car is fully striped.

And if i have to break very heavy (emergency stop eg) then the back end tends to weave out. Though it doesn't always do this.

But my thoughts is that the servo valve may need adjusting to accept the less weight?

Any input anyone?

Go out with a fat bird and make her sit in the back or adjust the spring tension I suppose.

At fat bird!

Which way should it be adjusted clock-wise or anti-clockwise?

Should it be made looser or tightened?

Is the car lowered ? if yes then you adjust the spring to be looser, but as you have stripped it out to be lighter then I,m not sure so you will have to experiment or someone might know for sure ,mines lowered but I did not need to adjust it. plonker me just looked at you car nice , so lower but also lighter a contradiction to what way to adjust.
