Bald Tyres? thin tyres? - Poor driving?

No Abs / Locking rear wheels?

have you lowered it?

changed the wheels and have directional tyres on the wrong way?

think corsa's have abias valve that when lowered is then set wrong to allow more breaking to the rear as it thinks its under hewavy load , not sure though.

yes this is what i was getting at, too mucch braking force could be going to the rear wheels and as there is less weight over them they may be locking up.

has something bent which is giving you a lot of toe ou on the rear? this would cause instability.
