Full Lock Skipping

[nickl360]

When I spin my mk2 172 round at full lock the car jumps quite aggressively, What could be worn or broken?

CV Joint?
Track Road?
Top Mount?
Suspension?
Dogbone bushes?
Wheel balancing?

I don't know if it's connected but the car pulls slightly to the right as well, which I think is causing excessive tyre wear to the outside of the right front tyre.

Tracking.

The tracking could be out due to a worn part.

Mine does this just had tracking done and it still does it :S

The skipping is normal and nothing to worry about. Spacers or grinding around the top mounts are the only fixes.

Tracking wise, get yourself a four wheel laser alignment using something like the Hunter system.

I've had the car nearly 5 years and it's never been this bad which hints that somethings wrong or has too much play in it.

I have noticed when the camber changes on the road in a corner for example, the car can feel a bit floaty.

Tyres low on tread? Normally the skipping and camber sensitivity can be more affected with tyres low on tread.

Mine does this but I thought it was something to do with the diff not having enough slip in it

The tracking could be out due to a worn part.

Get the wheels off and have a good pull on the track rods. Inner and outer joints could be worn then.

I've replaced everything as my car has been off the road over most of winter . Test drove the the other day and i have this symptom . I think it is a tracking issue as ive had all the suspension components changed . And the geometry is all over the shop il be tracking it on monday il report back here to see if it solves it

Did you do your ARB and rack bushes too?

 

[rollerdan]

Did arb bushes . Rack bushes wer fine minimal movement . Not solid but not massively loose .

Could be a leaking shock absorber or mis-matched springs/shocks etc.
