I'm losing a little confidence driving my car in the wet - it feels like it is understeering quite a lot.
For those who aren't sure what understeer is, it is essentially when you turn the steering wheel and the car doesn;t turn as much as you expect and head towards the guard rail, wall, semi trailer in next lane, etc. Is there a quick fix to this such as adjusting relative tyre pressures? I currently run on 38PSI all round and think this may be part of the problem. In the rain it feels a bit like I am driving around on ice skates. Tyres are the standard Goodyear NCT5 Eco 205/50/16 and are about 50% worn. If I decide to keep the Focus for a bit longer I am thinking of some suspension mods - are any mods particularly good for lessening understeer? Cheers, MK |
