Hi
This has been going for a while now, and getting worse I think. I would like to know what people think might be causing it.
If you could imagine going round a sweeping curve on a motorway juntion for example at high speed. If the curve goes right, everything is normal. The car turns in consistently and beds down.
If the curve goes left, things are different.... After a certain point (I guess after a certain amount of weight has been transfered to the right wheel. the turn in rate increases alarmingly. Correcting can cause a fish tailing shimmy to occur which is bad news.
The shocks are new, and the lower arm bushes are powerflex poly propolene. The car has also been laser tracked recently and just passed MOT.
So my thoughts are bottom ball joint (RHS) or something with the antiroll bar.
Opinions encouraged :-)
Thanks in advance!
Cheers
