Front Wheels Don't Work Around Corners?

[lilcrash]

I was driving pretty hard this morning and noticed that my front torque guage locks to 0 when going around corners. Is this to help with the turn, like if the front wheels spin they won't hold traction to turn kinda like when you lose steering in a fwd.

i think its to prevent understeer.........

[lilcrash]

That would make sense

[zei20l]

if you lock the transfer case via the button, then move forward around a corner, i THINK it will still give you front torque. i dont have the gauge, but i can feel it in the front wheels

[lilcrash]

I don't have a button (rs4s) but it does corner very well. In my wife's car I'm unsettled turning above 40/50km in the stag 100km is nothing around a corner. Just wish I knew why my wheels feel square and why my abs shakes the car.

are you sure u dont have a buckled rim? what condition are your rotors in??

[lilcrash]

I'm not sure if it did it before I changed wheels. Rotors are warped pretty bad from what I can see, just wish they could shave them

[lilcrash]

One thing I do know is my tyres get flat spots while I'm at work, it shakes horribly until my tyres warm up

[zei20l]

flat spots? lol

unless the car is sitting there for a few months, they wont flat spot.

is be checking other things like bushes and wheel bearings.

Nah, I used to have stupid Yokohamas that would flat spot overnight, and I'd be driving down the freeway trying to hang on to the wheel for the first 20km until they warmed up. Then they'd be fine.

F**kin' Yoko; ruined the Beatles, and my car...

Hey my torque meter must be a Hyundai edition because it isnt working, anyone know a simple fix to this or someone in adelaide that will fix it cheap?

[lilcrash]

Yeah my tyres are silverroad or silverside or something cheap, needed new tyres in a hurry. I replaced my brake discs but about 10 minutes later I warped them

[RS4-S]

hey mate, quick question. do you have hub locators (hub centric rings / centrebore locators) fitted with your mags? (73.1mm>66.1mm) if not i would say that could be why your car feels crappy under braking. also all of my rotors are warped, fronts i only notice when hot or light braking at high speeds and the rears only once hot and lightly coasting on brakes up to lights the car jerks/surges. (ive got r34 brakes and slotted rotors to go on but have been flat out)

[lilcrash]

Not yet im still in the process of making them, I wish I could find the parts for a brake upgrade at a decent price, it doesn't like stopping with a trailer on.

lilcrash - any tyre shop should have them on the shelf, shouldnt be more than $20.

Try to get alloy ones, some places will try to sell you plastic ones; they work; but they'll crack eventually...
