2001 Ford Focus sudden oversteer
Year: 2001
Variant: diesel lx
Categories:
Steering, Suspension, Brakes, Wheels & Tyres
On turning right the car has a tendancy to pitch in and oversteer, and has even got into a 4wheel skid. New tyres fitted, tracking checked, recent MOT pass (done while problem exists)and tyre pressures correct.Rear shocks?I'm at a loss.

try swapping your wheels round front to rear to see if this alters the handling,how fast are you going when the car over steers?is it when accelerating or braking?
