Hi need some help please

Have a Boxster 987, 55 plate with 18" front wheels.

When pulling away slowly on full lock the front wheels seem like they are juddering or slipping on right and left lock. Everything else seems fine when driving.

Is this a problem with front suspension or normal /

Any advice appreciated

Thanks

AFAIK all "fat tyred" cars will do this, unless you have a front differential?

Its more than likely the effect of the suspension geometry (Akerman Angle) and if so, nothing to worry about.

Fat tyres plus cold weather - perfectly normal.

Have a Cayman S and this always happens when the tyres are cold. I was concerned too when I first got the car but the PH massive said "They all do that" and "Ackerman effect".

I wouldn't worry about it.
