Poor handling left hand bends
Hi guys would really appreciate your help on this one, I had the same problem on my last car and it had to go as I couldn't solve it!
When I turn left the steering is always much softer, I get loads of understeer and very little grip at the front compared to a right hander. Car is MY97 turbo. I've changed the steering rack as it was leaking but its made no difference. Any ideas?
Thanks
Luke

Perhaps you are very, very heavy - upsetting the balance of the car
