lockys96 Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 when braking, i notice the steering dives around. i have had my suspension raised, on brand new suspension. i also notice the car wanting to turn a bit when driving, when going over little bumps in the road surface, through the steering wheel. im going to take a quess that my tracking and wheel alignment needs to be looked at. advice please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lockys96 Posted November 28, 2005 Author Share Posted November 28, 2005 yes, under braking it feels like its trying to go left and right. there is no massive judder, just driving over some crappy roads i can feel the steering wheel wanting to go one way.

Rayman Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Could be a seized caliper, does it make any sort of noise under heavy braking when you come to a standstill? I have had this before on a previos car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockys96 Posted November 28, 2005 Author Share Posted November 28, 2005 no, none what so ever, ive already has the pleasure of seized suspension what a lovely first post there Rayman, you should introduce yourself. welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

black cat Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 didnt read the bit about 2 new brand new tires, thats probebly it. It will feel weard for a bit, get it checked if its that bad, If i have a prob i rag the shit out of it waiting for some thing to brake, it never does its just in ur head. if it brakes then at least your expecting it, chances are it wont. every time i take mine out i notice somethin new and worry for a week untill the next thing. tire pressure and new front tires are my bet. tt steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockys96 Posted November 28, 2005 Author Share Posted November 28, 2005 well, ive only just noticed that the rear right tyre looks slightly lower. the fronts were fitted before i picked up the car, it had mot and registration. they have been on there for 3 weeks. when i had my new suspension fitted, i was recomended to get my tracking looked at, thats what ive been thinking about. i will check tyre pressures tomorrow. making sure the rears are at least 32 and fronts at least 34. and even. see how it goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 i know you were lol check your tracking mate as others said other than that track rod end could be on way out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Geo is a mile out (best hope) or something nasty has happened when the "new suspension" was fitted. I'd suggest getting it checked out ASAP in case somethings loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Steve - We're not Americans... T.Y.R.E. (sorry...I hate Americanisms) What type of tyres. Mine doesn't feel right and everyone attributes it to the crappy tyres that are on it. I really must get around to replacing them. If you've had the suspension fiddled with it's probably just not setup right. Chris did mine on the my NA and it was brilliant afterwards.
