"Twitchy" Rear End?
Lately, I've noticed somewhat of a twitchy feeling coming from the rear when hitting a mild bump or road imperfection on the freeway/at-speed. It's not bouncy so much, just...twitchy? Though not as extreme, the feeling is exactly like when I needed to replace my upper control arm bushings on an old e36 m3 I used to own. I'm assuming it's something comparable, bushings needing replacing. Has anyone experienced (and fixed) anything similar? The car has 67k on it if that helps at all.
Thanks! |

Check all the rear subframe suspension bushings and check the shocks as well.

The M6 has less rubber bushings than the E36. Subframe to body is a hard mount, so the suspension (arms) bushings are the likely cause of a loose feel in the rear end. Week or leaking shocks can also give a loose feel. Check the shocks for leaks along the rod seal.
