I have been having great difficulty when driving my car round corners at speeds on a track and I am sure this is called rear whel steer! I am using poly bushes suoolied by chester sportscarsand am wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem or something similar and how they solved the problem
thanks

Hi Ben.
What sort of problems are you having? I would not have thought that the fact you have polybushes fitted is the contributing factor. Most handling problems are usually down to suspension setup or tyre pressure/size related problems which induce either under or over steer. Tell us more about the symtoms.
Cheers

when cornering at speed it feels as if the rear wheels want to get in front of the front However now believe that i have solved the problem due 2 a small crack in the trailing arm! so hope all goes to plan and be back on track in no time

Simple stuff first.

Have you checked the tracking?

Sounds like you are getting too much oversteer. Bushes shouldn't be a problem (unless old and damaged).

Is it happening in both left & right handers?

I still think it might be something to do with the rear tracking or camber.
