Steering gone funny!
 
Lately my steering has gone all funny. It seems to need to be turned a bit extra when going round corner but when you do it then over steers and not as positive as what was. Just after i fitted my pro races from vts wheels and have got new yokohamas on front which are about 3-4 wks old. Maybe thinking new bushes or maybe something up with the powersteering but its still light steering so would of though that would of been ok and tires seem to have the right pressure in. Any suggestions. still need my new apex dampers on front as got the rears on.

Was the tracking done when you had the new wheels put on? & 4 wheel laser alignment?

tracking ? ...

jsdvtr 23rd March 2009 13:06

No. I have thought about that too. How much is this? Im getting new bushes for it anyway! How it was ok before put them wheels on? The wheels have got spacers on too would that be why maybe.

should be around £20 for tracking and alignment. It should have been done when putting the spacers and new wheels on mate.

jsdvtr 23rd March 2009 14:58

When i put them on or when the spacer were put on as bought them like that? my mate reckons could be anything, cv joint, bearings but i think my bushes or cv joint may need replacing as sometime when i go over bumps can hear a knocking noise. Would be something to do with it or something else?

Dude, its your tracking.

If you've changed the wheels over yourself + spacers and haven't had the tracking or any alignment done, then i'm 90% sure that is what it will be.

So you reckon its about £20? and how long would it take? Thanks alot for
telling me my cause.

Just had my tracking done, it was about 6mm out. Its better but when
i bring the wheel back after a corner it still seems a bit delayed. Anyone
have any ideas? Am going to get new bushes for the front next week and get them fitted and then see how things are.

the feel of the car will be different if youve just changed the wheels/ size.

jsdvtr 27th March 2009 10:14

sizes are the same. gone from vts to pro races. but also new tire have been fitted. Yokos are on now.

jsdvtr 27th March 2009 10:18

It just seems as though its taking longer to bring back the steering after a corner.
