Excessive Turn in?

So... under hard cornering the car has a tendency to almost turn in with me the more I turn and it almost always oversteers if I'm taking a corner (highway on/off ramp for example) and it'll oversteer and slide out but in more of a way that makes it feel like the front is pulling in too hard and the back is wanting to drive past if that makes sense.

my alignment if anything?


I used to have a set of racelands on and I never had any issues with the way it drove, just had a messed up steering wheel alignment. I have truharts now, 5 lugs all around and that's it. Could the height be too low be what's causing the handling I'm getting?

What might I be able to get or change that would help me out.

toe and camber, anything else?

the toe is straight as we could get it, accounting for the difference in the caster on the fronts so not sure what to do there. I have some rear camber arms on the way, I can get some camber bolts to add to the camber plate but I was under the impression that cam bolts and adjustable strut mounts were bad together.

Re: Excessive Turn in?

my bad, misunderstood - toe is zero? Caster is messed up. Negative means it is acting like the wheels of a shopping cart, will turn wherever it wants to.
also, toe tends to open up at speed, it is better to have toe-in, like the back.
do you have bent parts? LCA? The engine underframe?
did the truhart had a adjustable top mount? If so, you should not need the eccentric crush bolts
how low is your car? Past a point, you need reverse tie-rods from an RSX.

Re: Excessive Turn in?

i mean the car isn't on the ground per say but getting stuck on speedbumps and the like is a worry I have to account for. I have my tie rods inverted now, but they were just k tuned extended tie rods that i installed upside down, after drilling the strut hole out to accomodate.

no bent parts to my knowledge, I've definitely given it good look-overs and not seen anything that seemed too out of the ordinary. It did have the top mount, and I have it adjusted inward as far as possible because I was having an issue with positive camber once I did my 5 lug swap in the front. is there a chance that my junkyard spindles might have came with some camber and caster built in?
