32 Gtst, Understeering. How To Fix ?

[thrtytwo]

at low speed 50-60kmph just rolling round a typical "street" corner. No accelerator, front wheels let go sometimes.

should i soften front swaybar or get grippier front tyres ?

[WrenchesInTheGears]

what tyres have u got?

hows your wheel alignment?

and tell us the rest of ur setup

[thrtytwo]

tein super streets, aus spec, full stiff front and back.

whiteline adjustable swaybars front and back, both on hard setting

pineapples in the rear, set for max squat, shoulnt effect it i dont think ?

tyres are crappy china spec atm, 235/45/17 front, 255/40/17 rear

alignment is fine, no wobbles even at high speed

soften sway bars, get decent tyres.

[MrStabby]

Soften the front sway bar first to deal with the understeer, but if you've got rubbish tyres this might be more dangerous unless you're handy with opposite lock.......

i will soften front and see how that is, booking in for new rear tyres asap so was wondering wether or not to do fronts too, might aswell i suppose

i aint no D1 drifter but yeh i can steer through most situations lol, never over corrected yet touch wood

thanks for the replies

clutch it

[Moodles2]

maybe soften the front dampers up abit, get more grip on the front.. and how much air are you running in the front and rear tyres?

[blind_elk]

More air in the front tyres. Less air in the rears.

Soften the front suspension. Stiffen the rear suspension.

More front camber. Less rear camber

Probably get some decent tyres.

[PsYLoR]

better front tires

Harden up the rear sway bar,

then soften the front sway bar if it still needs it.

[thrtytwo]

booked in for bridgestone adrenalins all round tomorrow, will see how that is.

if need to will soften front springs slightly, if still not working will soften front sway bar.

psylor, cant stiffen rear swaybar, as i mentioned its already max stiff

ur gonna adjust spring rate before ARB's? u realise springs are at least $100ea, whereas adjusting sway bars is free right?

Kicking the clutch doesn't even need you to get your hands dirty.

haha yeh mate, read up a bit, adjustable coilovers. cheers

also new adrenalins made a bit of diff already. will keep fine tuning. cheers for all replies guys

[zebra]

The adjustable bit means the shock is adjustable not the spring

[thrtytwo]

yeh i know, but from what i read sumone suggested to "maybe soften the front dampers up abit, get more grip on the front"

just read back, i did say "soften front springs" meant dampers, my bad lol

yeh as mentioned that doesnt give u adjustment in ur springs, only changing springs changes the spring rate.

damper adjustment is more complex than what it seems, ur better off adjusting ur sway bars as that will give more predictable results.

yeh just ur guards dirty when u put them into a mountain.
