Bob_H Posted October 17, 2002 Share Posted October 17, 2002 Dan, I know this should probably go on the suspension forum,(is now) but I know you are "surfing" here and I am looking for an answer tonight. (this was originally going into the L6 forum). A while back you had an issue where your car was pulling either left or right under braking. What was the cause and the fix? I forgot. As an aside, getting ready to take my car up to the new track Beaver Run, this will be the first time on track with the Z. Squirely is an understatement. It has all kinds of straight line acceleration. But my steering effort is really high, and boy does it hunt over bumps,(not bump steer, but bump tracking). I am running 225/50/15's A032R's on 15x7's. ON second thought, I am going to post this in suspension. Of course you will only see it there... -Bob (the not yet motorless car) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Baldwin Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 One (or both) of my brake pads were hanging up in one of the front calipers. I could not believe it, but slight beveling of the edges of the pad backing plates and use of caliper grease along the edges seems to have gotten rid of the problem. Really weird, eh? Anyway, that's something to check. My symptoms were: firm brake pedal, car wants to make a left turn off the road/track under hard braking. As for squirrelly, what are your alignment settings? My car is VERY responsive, if I look down for a second at highway speeds and look back up, I may find myself in the next lane! But it doesn't feel nervous or unstable or anything like that. Just have to stay on top of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
