[QUOTE=ike84;650019]When I said "loosen the rear end", I meant inducing a slide.

On soft springs, removal of the rear sway bar can (depending on driving style) result much more drastic loading of the outside rear tire and unloading of the inside rear, especially during turn in and sustained tail braking. Accelerating out of that position, especially on small street tires, can feel like the rear end is loose (from the roll) or even see the rear end slide out on you (not necessarily causing oversteer as it is simply testing get limits of your tires)

When we remove the rear sway bar in our race car that has just H&R springs and some wedges, but otherwise stock (aside from camber) suspension -- it induces significant pushing.

So softening the rear makes understeer more significant.
