So I had the 914 out for a short jaunt over to my sisters new house last weekend.
She lives on a cul-de-sac so I parked out there. When I went to leave I took a really tight turn (wheel locked all the way) to get around some other cars. The front right tire proceeds to act like it is skipping or skidding across the pavement until I straighten it out a little. What might this be... are my tires to ???... I would not think so. I'm running 8 spoke EMPI's with *I think* 195's. I know that my front shocks are toast and plan to replace them but this would not be a culprit would it? Any ideas are welcome. |

Could this be a little bit of JP's scrub radius. Empi's with more wheel to the outside of the ball joint will increase it some. Where is the old fart anyway? Last I heard from him he was trying to turn his car into a bathtub.
