Does yours seem to bump every few seconds, as if there's a lump on the tyre or something?
Hope it's nothing serious!

#8: Re: problems with full lock Author: Mike_XS, Location: SouthamptonPosted: Thu Dec 22, 2011 12:43 pm ---- Mine does something similar on full lock. Have you put wider tyres on? Mine has only ever done it with the wider tyres.
#9: Re: problems with full lock Author: m4tth3w, Location: sheffieldPosted: Thu Dec 22, 2011 3:33 pm ---- mine has different tires on each corner so dont thionk this helps, ill treat it to a full setafter crimbo but for now the tires are
205 45 16 front
205 50 16 rear
#10: Re: problems with full lock Author: m4tth3w, Location: sheffieldPosted: Sat Dec 24, 2011 2:15 pm ---- i noticed today that offside front tyre is directional tread and the nearside is normal (cross tread)
Could this cause problems, it feels like one wheel is turning more than the other and kind of fighting against each other (like a locked diff)
I dont know if its meant to be like this???
#11: Re: problems with full lock Author: lottley93, Location: Bournemouth/Newcastle/KentPosted: Mon Dec 26, 2011 10:25 pm ---- had a similar problem, check all your wheel nuts first but for me it was a b*ggered CV joint, your problem sounds very similar to mine. easiest option would be to figure which side its coming from (find a carpark and get full lock left and then right) and then replace that side of the driveshaft. possibly pricey but better that it failing completley and falling apart...
#12: Re: problems with full lock Author: scotty79, Location: ayrshirePosted: Tue Dec 27, 2011 9:49 am ---- mine also had been doing this, thought the cv joint was knackered but turns out my wheel hub was cracked
#13: Re: problems with full lock Author: m4tth3w, Location: sheffieldPosted: Thu Jan 05, 2012 8:15 am ---- Resolution
I had 2 new tires fitted today to the front and the problem seems to Have stopped.
I think the problem was caused by having a good tire and a cheap tire. One was gripping more than the other.
