How to fix sloppy suspension

So I just got a evo 9 and it does have a lot of miles 160k but when I'm making hard turns the wheels aren't sliding but the rear suspension is shifting so hard it feels like I'm about to lose control very sloppy has any one encountered this and found how to fix it

Also I just out Bc coilovers I thought it would help it since my shocks were bad but it didn't

Ny help would be great thanks

Well, time to put this EvO on the rack / jack stands

Possible bushing wear (Lwr control arms, toe links etc)

Look for any loose suspension fasteners, cracked bushings. Shake all the links by hand

Just my quick thoughts. Others may have suggestions

Does the car have aftermarket suspension? I'm guessing new bushings and shocks/springs etc. Do you have a good group of local evo guys who can help? Check to see if the ACD lights are on which ones etc. Also what was mentioned above is a great place to start.

So the suspenion is stock besides the bc coilovers I just installed and the acd light is fixed on tarmac where I set it so I guess I'm just gonna need some new bushing.

Sounds like new bushing would help you out. I've also seen where the sway bar end links have broke off and the driver never notice.. Might want to take a peak just in case
