Hi Guys,
I have a question if anyone could help me please? I am aware of the issues with steering racks on the B8/8.5 but i cant seem to find anyone having the issues that i am. I'll put the spec of the car below so you can see what its got and had done
2012 S4 s tronic B8
39k miles
ADS
Dynamic steering
19" 8.5 width standard wheels with Goodyear Eagle F1 asymmetric 3 tyres (new)
Ultra racing strut brace/ middle under/ rear brace
4 wheel alignment done 4 weeks ago
steering set to comfort all the time
suspension set to dynamic all the time
The problem that i have is when hard cornering the front wheels feel like they are hopping for want of a better word, it feels unstable and the vibration can be felt through the steering wheel. In normal driving the car feels fine and i have no other issues with the steering. Since i have fitted the front strut brace this has improved the steering by about 20% and i now have slightly less vibration.
My question is has anyone else with 19" wheels come across this? is this just a trait of the dynamic steering you have to live with? my plan is to check all the front suspension bushes and borrow some other wheels with continental tyres to see if the softer sidewall is helping to cause the issue.
Thanks for any input
