Default from bad setup to worst.

Hi, today I realigned the car due to a weird sensation when cornering acceleration (front end lift)
I readed lots of topics and finally mixture an alignment. Well car cornering is better right then left. Also 4 coilovers are set to the same setup.

why turning better one way than other?




Tire pressure checked 3 times 2.2 bar

When you say it is better one way than the other, what is going on with it? Is it acting tail happy, just not gripping as well, etc?

Are you on coilovers, and if so has it been corner balanced? I have heard stories of strange handling issues when a bad corner balance was performed on a car.

Thanks for answering.
On the PIC I uploaded before inicial and after final can be seen.
With the setup before I noticed understeer when accelerating but turning right and left was equal.
Now when turning left I probably can feel a bit of oversteer.
I am sorry but nop, I have to do a corner balance asap.
Well tomorrow I will retune de alignment and try again.

I'm running Max out of camber on both front back

The difference between one alignment and the other is the caster and rear toe... It's strange...

Thx for your help

Problemas today solved. Caster adjustment was not tight and it moved. Thats why turning right was better than left. Waiting for good weather and test drive it.

Well I have to test drive it. Today I got a tool to perform corner balance with Robs guide.
Kind regards
