Hello experienced Cayman/Boxster owners,

I just picked up a 57 plate Cayman S and so far I love pretty much everything about it. My one issue however is that when cruising at 70 or above (on a private runway obviously) that the front end seems light and twitchy, and wanders around a little bit. The strange thing is that under power it feels planted and gives me loads of confidence to keep pushing, but as soon as I cruise, it goes all bambified. Is that normal and am I worrying too much, or do I have a problem?

Regards,

Andrew

Thank you ladies, I'll get onto it in the morning. Can anyone suggest anywhere near Manchester? Otherwise I'll just Google it. Thank you

Trev, that appears to be my exact issue, because it will go round a mini roundabout without braking. Thanks a lot, you've all been a great help

I've booked it in at Ninemeister in Warrington, the guy on the phone filled me with confidence compared to a regular garage I rang just before, just to double check. Seeing as everyone seems interested and opinions are divided, I'll report back with what will no doubt be an incredibly boring and average update next week. Thanks everyone.

Ok for everyone interested, it was mostly the front toe that was causing the issue according to the print out. It was a bit wet today so I've not had a chance to test it out, but the guy at Ninemeister reckons it'll go in a straight line and said that it is safe enough for my wife to drive, even though I'm not married and I went on my own, so I'm not sure who he was talking about. Thanks everyone for your input.

What I really need now are tyres that are not made from elastic bands and playdoh and then brakes that grip on both sides and then I'll finally be happy with the car, just in time for the new year most likely
