Default I think I may have found it!

Hey guys,

I think I may have found the source of my issues from the other night.

Jason, is it possible for the setscrews that control front ride height to back out and thus cause unwanted changes in the front ride height?

I just checked the car (haven't touched it since Saturday night) and my front ride height is down to 2mm and there is evidence of the front of the chassis physically touching the track (chassis butter on the front edge and on the alloy screws). I know I started the night @ 4mm ride height and I'm only measuring about 0.5mm of wear from the front wheels so somewhere I have lost about 1.5 or 2mm of ride height!

The chassis touching down onto the track as the car leans into the corner would cause the back end to come around uncontrollably...wouldn't it?

I'm still going to try some of the suggestions made earlier but I'm kinda hoping that this is/was the issue.

Cheers,
Mike
