I did some testing/practice today... I am fighting a tweak and I think I have always lived with it, ever since I started with this car last year. My car is a CRC 3.2R. I cannot seem to solve the problem.... Its frustrating! argh! Help.

The car checks out on the teak station. It checks out looking at the chassis by eye suspensing both ends in turn. The front wheel lift off points are the same and it sits parrallel on the front springs. Rear lift off points are the same. I have checked all the king pins and polished them. The front end movement is without any kind of binding, I have trimmed the blocks to make sure all movement is supported and done by the upper and lower ball joints. The rear side springs just touch the balls and no more. The rear pod is free and pivots correctly. I know most of the tricks (but obviously not all of them). Oh and the pennies drop at the same time....

All looks good BUT This is what the car does on the track....

If I put it down and power off straight... it goes straight. Good.

If I take a right hand corner nice and hard... like if I was comming onto the straight, come out of the corner and power up... the car tends to go left under power. I am not talking about on power understeer here. I have completed the corner and I want to go straight!

The opposite is also true. If I corner hard left, exit the corner and then apply the power... the car tends right.

I think I have developed ways of driving around this. But... this should not happen surely???

Back on the tweak station.. without the dampers or with them.. I have tried loading the car up on each side to simulate the turn and it comes back true. I cannot see any error.

Do they all do this? It is really doing my head in and I cannot see it. Help... what am I missing.

Cheers
