Steering Wheel Down To Left Occasionally, Usually Straight :-(

Hi guys

Just have a question and hopefully i can get some assistance with this

i Have a 1993 r32 GTST

Sometimes when i am driving my steering wheel goes down to the left, i have had a wheel alignment and the steering wheel is usually straight, its just sometimes it goes down to the left if i put my foot down a little. i know that its not the wheels spinning because even when i slow down it will still do this and eventually correct itself.

I am wondering whether it could have something to do with the hi-cas, however the light doesn't come on when this happens and i have seen the light come on before so i know it works, not sure about properly due to this thou

If someone has any ideas please let me know

cheers

are you noticing any vibrations in the steering wheel at speed?

does the steering wheel dip at different speeds or always at the same speeds

you may have to get the wheels balanced in addition to a full thrust (front & rear) wheel alignment

you might also have to change the tie rod ends on your suspension if the rubber bushes are worn out

I had a similar issue on the highway when I had my old r34, when I would hit 110km/h the steering wheel would slowly pull right then when I slowed down it would correct itself

turned out i needed new tie rod ends on the front, and then a wheel balance and alignment and the problem went away

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
