Default rear end wobble

hello all.

I have recently purchased a 2003 S2000. have had it a matter of weeks and has developed a wobble from the rear when i go above about 55mph. it is on coilovers and is lowered but not excessively. it doesn't have driveshaft spacers on. so the question is:

if i put the spacers on is that likely to sort the problem, or do i need to swap the inner CVs?

also is there any one in the telford area who fancies helping install the spacers/ swap the CV joints.

cheers very much.

Jay

Have you checked your tyre pressures, just to rule that out? Sorry I can't help with the suspension, but there are plenty on here who will

Check tyre brands/depths/pressures and geo...in that order.

If you do get spacers then go for the two piece ones, little easier to install.

Oh, and I'm always between Essex and Stoke on Trent so could swing by to Telford if needed.
