Rear slip

    I am not mechanically minded but I have a problem and am looking for some help.

    I am driving a Ssangyong Kyron at the moment and it is a heavy beast and is rear wheel drive. At slow speeds there is a clunking sound from the rear axle especially when the wheel is turned towards max.

    The main problem though is that taking off from a stop even at slow speeds causes the rear wheels to spin and I have lost control at 10kph. It only happens at this speed at a turning start and on a straight start it operates as you would expect.

    Is this a slip problem ? It has been back to where I bought it 4 times and they have not been able to fix it. Tyres are new.

    Thanks

    I'd say the "slip" is oversteer caused by wheelspin. Get decent tyres or lay off the throttle.

    For the "clunk", there could be wear in the rear axle/rear diff/driveshaft. That would could be checked out by jacking up the rear and seeing how much play is in the drive line. It could also be wear in bushings, Ball joints, etc.

    I'd be looking at Traction Control/ABS system as a suspect. Possibly a problem with a wheel speed sensor or pulse ring/bearing etc. If you just had new tyres fitted, there's a chance something got a bump while the wheels have been off or whatever. Any fault lights for ABS/TC when it happens?
