Out of Box Handling - Rear End Loose

Just moved up to FM7 last night. I have some issues with handling that I think are a bit extreme. I want to find out if it’s me or turn 10.
I have been playing FM6 for a while now with a Logitech G920 Wheel and shifter, Normal steering with all assists off, manual w/clutch.
When I started playing 7, I eliminated steering deadzones, set rotation angle to somewhere in the 700s. While driving the forza mustang and one of the lamborghini race cars, I noticed the rear end is EXTREMELY loose. Like way too loose. Specifically, if I am on the throttle in a sweeping corner, as soon as I let off of the throttle the rear end steps out. This also happens if I so much as blow on the brake pedal. I find this to be ridiculously unrealistic and frustrating since it happens even in very gradual corners. Never had this issue on 6. I understand that some suspension tuning is required to make cars handle better but the out of the box setup still shouldn’t be this bad. Am I the only one who had this issue? I don’t want to have to resort to turning stability on. Is this something I’m just going to have to deal with and I’ll need to make suspension changes to every car I drive? Thanks in advance!

Also note: The last four settings for the wheel in forza 7 confuse me a bit. If someone could explain those to me it would also be helpful, thanks.

Add race diff increase decal did until problem goes away.

Porsche factory default for example is 30/85 IIRC but in Forza all cars but a few have 70/35.

What Baby Cow said should do the trick.

But I’d add… is this problem at high or low vehicle speeds? …or both?

If it’s only at high speed running more rear aero relative to the front will preserve low speed agility.

If it’s only at low speed running more front anti-roll bar relative to the rear should help. If this messes up your high speed balance you can compensate with aero.

Then look at your dampers. Adding a few clicks of rebound at the rear can really do wonders here. I had this exact problem with my personal car after I upgraded the suspension. Not enough rebound meant the springs were decompressing in an uncontrolled manner leading to snap overseer when lifting the throttle; added some rebound and the problem went away.

This thread on wheel settings might be of interest to you. Hope it sheds some light with your wheel settings.
