Understeer Oversteer!

Recommended Posts

Hi All, had the steering rack changed about 6 weeks ago and it felt different so I had the 4 wheel alignment done again and it was near perfect and just thought it must be me getting used to a new rack. Went away for the weekend and driving at speed I have noticed that right hand bends and accelerating it clearly under steers, as soon as you take your foot off the gas it wants to straighten up again? When it goes left and you put the gas down it is under steering? I am not driving it hard just cruising. I've got it booked back into the garage that fitted it next week but does anyone have any idea what it could be? I do know I have a worn top mount on the passenger side would this cause my issue?

So I know you all must be wondering what the issue was! Took the passenger wheel off tonight and found the front bolt hanging out of it barely in by a couple of threads. Tightened it up and jobs a good in. Still taking it back to the garage though so they can check everything else out. Can anyone tell me what would have happened if it had popped out?

One of the wheel bolts or the hub nut/drive shift bolt? If one of the wheel bolts, ensure they're all torqued up correctly. Of Hub nut, the on full lock it's possible the drive shift could have released from the hub and trashed everything around there, including the gearbox if it jammed against something.

Saw your photograph on facebook and I'd go nuts as that could have been nasty.
