Oversteer when doing right turn

Post by akuma3 »

If you guys remember me mention i spend 1k with pedders just replacing the bushes & brushes and problem still exist, you'll be me like me now :evil:

Now just want some suggestion on what could cause the problem, when i'm doing a left turn everything is steady & glue to the ground, but when i'm doing a right hand turn, my car just oversteer dramatically! never tried but i'm sure i could do a donut!

Just want some suggestion on what could cause this to happen?

lol. back to the issue..

Ok, what about your tyres? are they worn at the back or maybe one of them is worn?

Does the oversteer happen when your on your own, or does it also happen when there is another passenger?

When you say oversteer, what are you doing when that happens? are you throttling the throtle? or are you just cruising around a corner fast with no gas? or with little gas?

That is one weird problem dude.

Lift off oversteer? Maybe you're drivers side rear wheel is actually coming off the read when you turn.

Just to fill in some more gaps so people can better help out -
Do you have front and rear strut braces?
Aftermarket suspension?
A recent wheel alignment?
The same amount of tread on both tyres?
Really uneven weight distrubution in the car?
Correct tyre presures?
A heavy f**king foot when it comes to accelerating into and out of corners?
Dpes this happen at low speed (less then 20km) or high speed?
What brand tyes do you have on each corner?

Take it back to pedders and make them do a full suspension check.
Have your handbrake cables checked and possibly readjusted.
Swaybars and droplinks may need to be looked at, alternatively your chasis might be out of whack or something and messing with all your suspension geometry.

you can also get whiteline from autobarn.
If you look at the whiteline website you will see a big list of dealers.
