Huge Wobble To The Right At Speed

Recommended Posts

Just had some toyo proxes t1-r's fitted to the front of the car and have been breaking them in tonight i stepped up the speed a bit and see what they felt like. However on coming down a relatively straight road downhill with a few lumps and bumps i suddenly got a great big movement to the right (like when you get a big gust of wind) :crying: needless to say foot came straight off the loud pedal and i took it easy on the way back.

Now the tyres that came off were wearing on the inside so i am assuming that i either have a toe in or camber setting that needs attention but the lowering springs are getting fitted next week so i don't want to do it twice

My question is can the alignment at the front causer this kind of problem ?

I'm going to wait patiently now till Dr Bones comes and gives me a lowdown :D

Cheers

fitted the same tyres on the rear of mine and for the first 500 miles it drove terrible ,problem seemed to right itself once tyres bedded in .

just need to wear the corners off eh :lol: on a further tyre note i got my tyres from yourtyres.co.uk and tried to get them fitted at teh local tyre place oakham tyres he wanted £1 an inch to fit them plus VAT so roughly £19 a tyre needless to say i went elsewhere and got it done for £15 all in

Right then geometry it is better get things moving cheers for the info
