GreenVTi991 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 My Civic's steering is pretty heavy at any speed & feels wooly & unresponsive around turn-in. Also when turning into a corner the car feels vague & un-settled then 'tucks in' to the corner (you can feel the whole car tuck which is a little un-nerving until it settles).I presume it's down to worn bushes somewhere, but which are the most likely culprits?Fyi I'm running Toyo Proxes T1-R's on the front & 2 somethings on the back (due to be replaced soon), MGZS180 suspension all round including front & rear ARBs.Just out of interest: Could worn / slightly binding rear brakes cause the above issue? I've noticed recently when reversing slowly the rear brakes hummTa V much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilkesyMB6 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 My rear drums do that, i thought it was because i bent one of the hubs in slightly once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noodels Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 maybe due to increase caster angle on front as rear lower on mgzs180 damper/springs check geometery may want to give it more front toe or rear toe/camber may be out.drop front 10mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenVTi991 Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 I can't really blame the MG suspension as it had the same feeling with the standard suspension which is why it must be something else causing it. When I had the Toyos fitted they check my tracking & said it was fine. I'm considering getting a full alignment done but am I right in saying there's not a lot of geometry adjustment that can be done without buying adjustable parts?
