TC oversteer

[sculptart@aol.com]

To all, I had the TC out last weekend and now that the engine has a few miles on it, I was driving a bit more vigorously than I had before. Had a BLAST, and found the car oversteers to the right more than to the left. When I got back into town, I went to the Goodyear Tire dealer and had them check the alignment of all four wheels and found the correct toe-in at the front and some toe-in at the rear. The RH rear was greater than the LH rear wheel. Has anyone had this on their cars? Is the rear axle sitting in the correct (or incorrect) place on the springs? Assistance please...?! Thanks to all, Ben Cordsen TC 4260

Ben You're not going to like this . . . If you have toe-in on the rear axle it must be bent. If it were mounted on the skew on the springs/chassis, there would be toe-in on one side and toe-out on the other. In any case I think you'd notice that the wheels weren't in corresponding positions in L & R rear arches. I think I'll go and check mine . . . Regards Dave Dwyer J2, TA, TC

Dave, Ben, I would not use the position of the rear wheel in the wheel arch as a guide. TC bodies can vary widely from side to side. Sad to say Ben I think Dave is right and you have a bent rear axle....... Murray Arundell Brisbane - Aus

I would confirm this. My Norton Antivirus picked it up also. Cheers - hopefully, Bob Kampas
