Junior-magician Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 Hi guys, I was enjoying a spirited drive last night and at a certain, fairly high speed the steering gets incredibly light making the car shimmy as it goes over bumps etc to the point I backed off. I'm new to Subaru and still feeling my way into its handling. Is this a fairly normal thing for a standard WRX blob to feel so light? Would upgraded suspension help to just adjust the ride heights to put more weight over the front? Any help or experiences appreciated, thanks.
mattiekane Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 If your concerned I'd suggest getting a 4 wheel alignment done Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk 1
Rps Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 Mine was exactly same mate so i put coilovers on and had 4wd alignment done and its perfect now Mine was to the point where if i was going over 30mph round a corner id be on wrong side of the road..... Im having a rear arb fitted too but it sounds exact same as my symptoms
Junior-magician Posted March 27, 2017 Author Posted March 27, 2017 Thanks guys, Checked my tyre pressures today, nsr 16psi osr 42.5psi. You'd imagine buying a car just serviced from a dealer would have at least checked the tyres lol. I think I'll finish off the tread on the ditchfinders (seriously who puts budget tyres on a wrx?) pick a new set of boots and get it aligned properly. I've only just fitted coilovers tyres and aligned my 328 I don't think I can afford to do that lot again for a few months lol

Pixyflash Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 "Twitchy vague steering" Sounds like my wife's driving. 😊 1
Tidgy Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 A geom and sacking the ditchfinders will transform it, try that then see how it goes

The handling is a little better with balanced tyre pressures now. I'll look at new wheels and tyres in a couple of months. Currently my time is spent lusting after Hayward and Scott cat back exhausts hehe. I need more burble!
