Steering...

[BDM]

How does the steering compare on a Tuscan to a Cerbera? I test drove a Tuscan last week and found the front to be really twitchy and light i guess you could say.

Was out in my friends Cerbera todaty and he could drive with one hand. Seemed less light at the front end i guess you could say...

Is a general thing or did i just test drive the wrong Tuscan?

It very much depends what suspension and set up the car has. The factory fitted stuff is fairly rubbish and a lot are modified and upgraded. Mine has Nitron adjustable shocks and up-rated bushes. It makes a considerable difference to the handling.

agreed - new shocks made a world of difference to mine. As did the geometry / alignment setup that came with them

I went from clinging on to the steering wheel over every bump to a light grip over the most challenging of country roads......

Geez. I've got Nitrons on and I still find it well twitchy...what takes the twitch out? I guess more negative camber and increased castor?

Nitrons are a great product, but like anything else they are only as good as the person who does the setup and corner wieghting.

Mine was done by 'TopCats' race team who clearly know a thing or three about suspension setups. If yours is still twitchy then my suggestion would be to investigate the settings.
