well just put my new dotz daytona and parada spec 2 yokohama on.. now it feels really loose in the steering !?.. not lowered that much !? is it just the alignment ? (i know it needs it)

 

Explain loose, doesnt make sense. Sure the front wheels lugs are torqued to spec?

it feels like the powersterring is on acid..
im all over the place.. like with over inflated tires.. or somthing..

 

Did you do the install, or someone else?

 

i helped.. cant put tires on rims my self.. but everything else i did.. so i know for rims and tires everthing is ok..

 

well go the alingment done...
was not that bad...
and it still feels very loose in steering ..first 2 inch or so from side 2 side.. feels SOO.. light.. !=?!!?

not so bad when i drive slow... more tight..
it is not like the steeringwheel is loose.. cause it turn on highways.. just that i feels like no resistence in the wheel.. like on gravel or ICE.. even im driving on good road with nu rain or anything--

 

ANYBUDDY ?!!?... HELP

 

Sounds like loose tie rod joints you're describing. But if it truely wasnt that way before, then it doesnt make sense.

 

tie rods joint is ??..

yes i think this is very wired..
atleast i didt feel any think on the small wheels..

it like the back end comes alot later when changing lanes..
like on 155/85/13 or somthing.. you know

but this is with konis and 205 /45 16" !? it should feel like a gocart

 

Tie rods, tie rod ends. They connect the steering rack to the spindles, so you can feel them through the steering wheel. But when the balljoints get worn out, play is created and the steering wheel will have excess movement before actually moving the wheels.

Ideally, when the steering wheel is turned just a hair, it should move the wheel. But when the balljoints are worn, loose, etc, it causes excess movement, so those small moves wont affect the wheel. The steering wheel moves side to side without affecting the wheels. It gets worse over time.

With your last post, it sounds like a cheap tire problem, but you have some great tires. The only similar problem I've experienced is a tire with just some poor traction and they slide/squeel on almost any type of driving. But I'm talking PURE generic tires, not like yours.

Otherwise I have no idea. To put it in dumb terms, it sounds like I'd expect a tire to behave if I sprayed lube on it. Just slides everywhere, delayed reaction, etc.

 

yeah i dont know whats up either !?!?..
just talk with a honda mec. a freind of mine.. he says that i should toe all 4 wheels a bit instead of 0 like the wheel/steering company set em jsut now..
so i will try with some toe in on all 4 wheels just like 0,04 minuttes on them !?! see what that does..
