well as you can probably imagine i dont drive my car like a vicar on the way to a sunday service......but i dont very often spin the wheels due to the nasty tyre wear that this incures | |

quote: as far as im aware all FWD cars have unequal lengths of driveshafts?? so this would be a charactersitic off all FWD cars though u could be on to something Kris! if you constantly floor ur car in 1st & 2nd then 9/10 it'll be the left hand that spins due to the shorter driveshaft. only time the right will spin is when all the load is on the left, i.e. going round a right hand corner | |

when u say scrubbing... do you mean the wheel is hitting the arch or your tyre is just becoming bald on the left? | |

its nothing too do with the fact that corsas have unequal length drive shafts is it? cos i get a lot of torque steer due to this. | |

my car isnt lowered.....infact it looks highered lol.....just standard suspension and the wear of the tyre is even all over except maybe a tiny bit of scrubbing on the outside edge but this isnt alot.....everything runs really smoothly on the car and there is no juddering or vibrations anywhere even up to 128mph....smooth as a babys bum! | |
