rwdrev Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 i have just got my car back on the road after the 5e build and i converted it to manual steering to junk the mess of the p/s pump. i have set this up the exact same as when i was running p/s, the only thing changed is the rack....and i dont like it!! when i lift off it swerves towards the hedge... and its bloody scary if not paying attension. but wondering now that i have lost the assistance of the steering i am now suffering from the ramp angles in my diff. my set up is, standard shockstein 30mm dropped springspoly bushespoly antilift kitstandard farbmanual rack1.5 trd diff (or so im told)16" wheels0.15 toe??? (think thats what he said, looked it up in the tracking book)and as much camber as the holes allow. powering is ok, its just when i lift off i head for the hedges Quote Link to post Share on other sites

aaddzz123 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Yeah just sounds like tracking lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Socks Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Tracking is a must. If uve changed the rack, the track rod ends will not be setup! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beastmode panda Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 torque steer ? its just when i lift off i head for the hedges Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rwdrev Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 it has been tracked. drove it alot last night, and didnt seem as bad, alot better since the steering wheel is now in line. it handles like a dream tho, drives like a gokart, just the tyres (t1r proxys) let it down on hard roundabouts. but through the fast twisty stuff its brilliant. its still very manly steering tho, think im gonna have to work on the guns, lol.

daniel_g Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Was the toe set to neutral ? And was the ALK messed with during the alignment ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rwdrev Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 no, but think il set it to neutral. alk? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Think neutral feels better. ALK - anti lift kit, it should set the caster -0.5 deg, i'd just make sure its sound whilst the alignment is getting done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aaddzz123 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Always set my gts to +1 and most cars that came in for a tracking got +1 too to be honest lol. Find it doesn't wander as much with a bit of toe in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Mine was set to 0.5 toe in and it felt pretty good Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 ^^^^ thats the standard setting to to MORE out will settle it more and make it feel heavyer to !!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Not on Sts tyres system its not, Dead 0 is what their system states. Either way its much better with some toe in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rwdrev Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 Think neutral feels better. ALK - anti lift kit, it should set the caster -0.5 deg, i'd just make sure its sound whilst the alignment is getting done. orite, get ya. none of that was touched when fitting engine/box/ rack, it everything is back to how i had it before but just manual steering rack. i will get it back into the garage and set it to 0, try it, then adjust if still not happy.
