Hi.

So one thing I have noticed about my bug is poor mid corner handling. All it wants to do is undersreer. I struggled with a 1.1 clio around a tight roundabout. I even gave it abit more to see if the back might loosen up but it just pushed it forward even more.

So I'm wondering if there is any cheap cures. Im guessing arb or bushes. I have had a search but theres a lot of conlficting information.

Again any help would be great.

A proper geometry setup should be your first port of call. Of course, you should look into what tyres you have on your car and what tyre pressures you're running. If you're running cheap no name chinese meats then all the suspension mods in the world won't help you much.
