Engine bay Strut.

[e-c-h]

Hi all,

 

So Finally found my knock being the locking nut on the engine brace bar. Probably a silly question but would the adjustment of the Bar affect the feel of the steering in anyway?

 

Would appreciate any help,

Not sure but the correct tension etc is on this pdf. at page 2 and page 8.

You would need to apply some serious pressure either way to actually effect the geometry, and then it would only be very slight.

Ok cool, thanks for the replies! My steering feels a little skippy sometimes and can pull about on the steering wheel do wasn't sure if that would be s contributing factor. The car has been lowered do I reckon that it may just be the nature of the beast!

You need your wheel alignment done. Sounds like the toe is out.

 

If you lowered it and never had the geometry done this will be your problem

Thanks for the reply Dave, it was lowered before I bought it but have had the wheel alignment done a few days ago and re-checked, all spot on. Is much better after alignment but I still feel like it's a little skippy.

Check your tyre pressures as well.. My handling was thrown out from under inflated tyre but can't tell if there low because the low profile on them..

What tyres do you run? You would not believe the difference a tyre makes. I had very skippy tyres on my E36, when I changed to PSS it was magical ^_^

At the moment they are Falken FK 452, I think! They are the tyres that were already on when I bought the car. Do you think that those tyres would make that much difference??
