Rather loose front end... what could it be?
I have a strange loose feeling coming from my front end. the car is understeering much more than normal (especially for a car with coilovers and a rear sway). I'm on almost new eagle F1 GSD3's, those have about 3k on them... Stock front sway bar, new strut bushings and bearings, koni shocks set to moderate-stiff setting.
tire pressure is nominal. (i think) my initial thoughts: sway bar end links (though they haven't begun to make any noise) bushings my tire pressure gauge is lying to me... any other possible causes of this problem? Thanks!

Too much tire shine on the tread...
|
Your diagnosis of potential causes sound right (as does the tire-shine...).
If it's the bushings, it's time for DEFCONs!
|
your sig is rad!!!! I love mariokart...
|
what are the temps there???? While i have not found my F1's to>>
be slick in the cooler weather, i am sure they have a temp they need to be at to get decent traction.....something else to consider based on your list of items Colby...

As my friend recently stated, with that setup, the car should handle like its on rails. Reverse
bias on tire pressures can definitely induce oversteer or understeer, depending on severity. My guess knowing very little about your car would be bushings, but I would double check tire pressures.

Strut bushings and possibly control arm bushings.
|
so what are your tire pressures set at and what size are the rims?
|
good point. it was a cold morning, about 40F
