It would appear that since fitting my front strut brace, that I now have quite a lot of oversteer, is this normal?

I know the back end is a bit more twitchy since fitting the brace, but I didnt expect the kind of oversteer I am currently getting

Or am I maybe turning in too quick/too much now, as I used to have to do this before, but as the steering feels much lighter, maybe Im overdoing it slightly

This isnt even spirited driving, this is fairly normal driving

Also not sure if this is coincidence or not, but my car seems louder (zorst wise) dont know wether the strut brace (I had to use a touch of force to fit it) has caused my zorst to be moved

I think I may take it off again, just to see, and then re-fit it when I am ready to have my geometry done

Steve

edited to add, I do like the tightened front end since the brace has been on, it certainly feels much better, but im unsure about the oversteer & noise (zorst) problems

Yes after fitting a front strut brace oversteer is very common

Thanks

I have removed the strut brace for the time being, as it was making my zorst loud well more raspy, I assume it was the strut brace causing it, as the noise has gone now I have removed the brace

I will refit it when I find a rear strut brace to match, and get my geometry done
