steering feels lose..

fyang · 01-15-2017, 12:26 AM

hello guys,

steering feels lose after new rims and tires even after alignment?

also it over steers to one side when i hit a pot hole or bump?

what to do?

i do not off the hub ring for the new rims is that the issue?

Just jumped on page for a bit; post a printout pic of alignment & check for proper tire pressures....A higher tire pressure can make steering feel looser or a narrower/easier rolling front tire could cause it.
post printout for best support.

bumpsteer is most likely because a component not properly set in the rear...aslo when you get your printout-list if car has been lowered,springs,coilover's,etc..

wat are the wheel/tire specs? too much width, stupid low offsets, stupid wide tires can do dat.

also new tires if different brand/model will feel different and will require some break-in.

check your tire pressure...

btw, since OP you are living in toronto, and it's Jan right now which means the temperature is like -5c to +5.0c...

do you mean you just have a new summer set installed? in Jan?

also, a close up pic of your wheel with fender will be nice.
