ITR - steering response seems to be deteriorating
Hi all,
Just wanted to get some Ideas on what I can check.
Problem:
Lately, I'm finding the "accuracy" of the steering a little off. It's harder for me to hold the lines without correction of the steering.
The feeling - I seem to feel the left Front to be tramlining more with the grooves in the road, that is, if you hold the steering wheel tight, it feels like the left Front is occassionally wobbling.
How can I tell that it's the Left? When you feel the grove on the left side, you feel the wobble. When you feel a grove on the right, it just droves through it.
Turning right, seems to shudder a bit when you power down.
I run:
Spoon coil overs 14kF/12kR 16x7 - 205/45/16
I have checked the following:
- wheel alignment and balance - (zero toe)
- camber (appears to be normal)
- tyre pressure
- checked for any free play (jack it up and see if I can move the wheel)
What else can I have checked? It's getting annoying

How many kilometers have you, my car at +100000 milles 163000 kms) and do exactly the same things. It 's very strange, i fist think about HS dampers, but when i saw your coilover setup, i'm doubt.
I've just hit 80,000km's ... 
The sussy has only been in for around 10,000kms.
Tyres are pretty much new.
The car was driving like a gem not so long ago (about 2 months ago). Haven't "really" hit anything, only spun off the track a few times haha
I'm guessing, something in the geometry, may be bushings or something...... even might look at a re-corner weight ...
but if anyone has any ideas, I'll be happy to check it out.

Was thinking about purchasing one of these but I'll have to wait and see how they really function before spending the amount of money.

Also, you may want to try and replace the bushings that support the PS rack...
