Tell him to get an alignment. he has too much toe-in, in the rear.
his problem is related to the passive rear steer.
So, when he hits a bump the spring compresses and he gets more toe in, and the rear tire fight for traction as they both point towards each other. thus u get the wagging rear end. this will be more noticable in low traction situations.
the max toe-in i would recoment is 1/8" total. i actually run 1/8" out, but i auto-x and like the car rotation.
anywasy,, if he had a little toe-out, on a bump the tire would have to pass neutral toe before it gets to a region of too much toe-in (which at this point would be unliekly)
