| Post subject: | Full lock lifts front end |
I noticed this weekend when topping up my powersteering fluid that when turning the steering progressively to full lock the front end of the car lifted. When turning the steering back to centre from full lock the front end would conversely drop. Is this normal for a 944? |

Normal for any car not just the 944. It is because of the caster & KPI (King Pin Inclination) built into the steering. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caster_angle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingpin_(automotive_part) |
