3rd gen a bit wandery

Post by dexyman » Mon Jan 06, 2014 7:52 pm

is it normal for a 3rd gen to follow every bump and groove in the road

no noticable play in the steering

like all cars with wide wheels the tend to follow camber and ruts, but not wander too much
could be worth checking track, camber and caster
are tyre pressures right? run mine about 34-36 psi

As we know JB, the list of club sponsor's offering discounts makes it a worthwhile saving to have.
