ive recently changed the rear bushes on my cinq to poly bushes. i also changed both the front springs.

occasionally the steering randomly dives to the left and there is randomly oversteer while going round a left hand bend.

do you think the top mounts are playing up, i havent sat the springs properly or what?

hoping to sort it tomorrow.

any help would be great. ive changed springs loads of times, never had this issue.

thanks.

hi there, i have had this problem before, as new springs are more stronger than the old ones, the car will sit up higher than the old ones, i would get the tracking done on the car, that will help with the steering, please note that you will need the 4 wheel tracking, this will make sure that the car is set up correctly.

Exactly, remember, any parts that are changed/sorted regarding suspension, you should always get the tracking done.

hi there, were the top mounts changed at the same time, as can sometimes become stiff especially with new taught springs, sorry cant be of much more help

hello. no i didnt change the top mounts at the same time,kept the originals.do you think i should change them? tracking is ok, drives fine in a straight line, no pulling or slowly veering.

Do the top mounts move smoothly independent of the spring?

i cant remember tbh, il take it apart thiseve and have a look. im guessing they should do?

Yup, top mounts should spin freely once the top nut has been done up.

You also need to make sure they are on the correct side and the correct way round to maintain the camber and castor.

ok. i check that later.
im pretty sure i didnt get them mixed up when changing the springs but is there any way to make sure?

They are both the same when new. If you have swapped yours over, the existing wear will be on the wrong side.
