| slight wheel spin/skid whilst turning on full lock? |
|
hi there, not everytime but sometimes whilst turning on full lock, i feel a bit of skid or spin on the front wheel, mostly when the roads are damp, is this the norm? are the tyres just fighting for grip? i have brand new grabber tyres on?
not worried, just wondered if it was the norm?
cheers

its usually the outside wheel will will try to spin, as the weight's not on this when you boot it on full lock. I've had mine do it, as you say, wet/damp road, full lock, but it very quickly stops.
Its funny, my manual never did it, but my auto will.
