rolling over whlie cornering?

[Silverbullet]

hey guys, i was doing a little driving tonight in a near by parking lot and i expirienced sharp turns can feel like my car is about to roll over. I think espeically right turns. Is it possible for an S13 to roll over on flat pavement while cornering?

I highly doubt you will roll over, did your tires actually get off the ground?

I have seen a couple cars roll over, but only in vids, just get some sways, it'll make you feel a bit safer.

Go in a ride with someone really pushing thier car (on a track), and you'll see you have nothing to worry about.

what kind of turns are you trying to take, and at what speed. I highly doubt you could roll it. I've been in a friends explorer doing donuts in the snow and have hit dry pavement pretty hard, and haven't even experienced a tire lifting off the ground.

*It will roll when tripped by a curb or other obsticle of stability..if hit bluntly on the side at high speed*.

I have done rediculous things with mine...with a passenger..such as on a track and turn the wheels to get into a powerslide at 90MPH and accelerate into the next opposing slide and counter steer it to almost a spinout and recovery to dead ahead...never letting the speed drop below 75 to 80..using throttle the whole time and P brake. So if It can do that......you will have a hard time doing a roll over unless you peel a tire off the rim...and at 35PSI with 205/60/15's and stock alloys, never happened.

Maybe a certain suspension piece is incorrectly fitted or has failed all together. Especially if you are saying it has a prob. towards one side Vs. the other. Sway bar Bushings? Subframe? I'm just firing shot's into the dark. Anyone else got ideas?:confused:

if you have blown dampers, and old stock springs, the car might feel like it's going to roll.. On street tires is very unlikely that you could produce the amount of grip necessary to actually flip the car. Even on race tires, it would be very improbable.

Now if you blew a tire, or hit something like Bill was saying.. good luck. Make sure you've got plenty of air in the tires. the sidewalls rolling over can greatly increase your possibility of ripping open the tire on something.

my friend's Civic Si rolled over off the street a few months ago. He hasn't had a car since..
