col666 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Since getting the tein basic kit fitted the handling has gone to pot. Steering getting heavy then light under cornering loads, front end darting all over the shop when changing direction,steering very wooly compared to what it was like as standard. Geometry was done by Target in perth through the people that fitted the kit for me, didnt ask for this because I dont think target have a clue what they are doing tbh. Feels very dodgy pushing the car hard now, steering goes so light it feels like its diconnected from the wheels! seems worse on right handers. Tyre pressures are fine, any ideas what could be wrong? its never ending with this car....so close to getting rid[] Link to comment
scoobykev Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 It would be worth getting the geometry checked somewhere else, as i didn't get many positive comments made about target when i asked for somewhere local to get a setup done. jc used fiskens and said he had no probs, still not got my suspension fitted yet.

craig mac Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Col I used Falkland to do my geometry and its top class mate. Craig Link to comment
fai17 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 get your geo redone...it will be good again Link to comment
johnnyr6 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 after changing my suspension i now have this prob, the car is very scary driving hard and pulls to the left. When accelerating hard it pulls to the left then shoots right once the acceleration settles. Going to get the geometry sorted and all will be fine again. I'll be using progrip in denny, good guys.

mrs. jc scoob Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Col this is exactly how my car was before my accident,I put up a post saying my car was trying to kill me as it was behaving this way after having geo done at said place,my car was booked in to get geo checked on the 28th of Jan as I was terrified of it as it was skidding all over the place when I turned in right but unfortunately it never made it. I'm sure you remember how bad it was so please take it easy and get geo redone as soon as possible especially as the roads are now getting slimy,this is a worrying trend occurring and it could be deadly if left [] Link to comment
paddy247 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Colin dont piss about with this sort of stuff on the forum, give Grant or Andy a call and get the car checked out asap, they will have your print outs from target from when geo was done. Paddy Link to comment
twofourdonkey Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 If it feels like a bag of shit.........GET IT CHECKED!! A Golf I had lowered once, by a tyre fitters, was so bad I had to abandon it and get the AA to get me home. I got the manager of the place to come and see for himself and he was amazed at the mad angles my wheels were at. I fitted the kit by myself in the end, and went for a quality laser alignment. Problem solved. Link to comment

scott_coull Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Colin, I got my geometry done after fitting my P1 suspension at Broomhill motors in Dunfermline by a certain Mr Job Geevers of Whiteline. Cant complain about the service or the price! Would deffo go back there if I was getting it done. Cheers Scott Link to comment
mrs. jc scoob Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 I also still have the geo printout when my geo was done at Target would be interesting to see what another place thought of it,also it was actually a mechanic where I had my car worked on that suggested that it may have been toe out at the rear passenger side and this is what may have caused the back wheels to suddenly start stearing. In any case if you are in doubt about tracking best just to get it checked for the sake of £50,Col hope you get it sorted soon cos its a lot of money to keep a scoob on the road especially if you are not 100% happy with it[] Link to comment
