Macan owners - front end skip?

[Ken Figenus]

No its not a comment on its beautiful front end design Mine just feels like it has a tight diff or different turning arcs for the front wheels when using a lot of lock - particularly when going right out of a junction first thing in the morning. The front tyres seem to skip or hop to get back in sync with each other. Do they all do this? It can make for jerky and mechanically unsympathetic quick exits from junctions. Cheers

Ahh https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ackermann_steering_g...

So does it need this or is it out of alignment? Or TADTS!?

[Ken Figenus]

Hmm - i have PS4S on front and Latitudes on the rear. Soon to be all on PS4S as I so rate them and all I could find out about N0 Latitudes was marketing BS - not any facts. I love ze PS4S and vill not comply!

Have genned up on Ackerman so seems to be a feature. I really don't like it though - its quite abrupt and clearly not tyre friendly. In fact it tends to ruin what is an otherwise really well mannered car with great steering feel. None of my other cars that all had great steering feel (well not the F11 - got rid of that for its terrible EPAS) have suffered this - not even the similarly the AWD WRX, FFRR or RS4 Quattro.

I have a feeling it will get better when it warms up so until then its clunk and bump on ninety rights!

There obviously seems to be some advantage in all these manufacturers NOT following the principles of Ackerman - would be good to know what they were

I too am a kleine Scheiße as have put PS4S on the fronts - was wondering if the lack of N0 approval was actually manifesting as a real issue? So maybe not

Completely awful!

Still no wiser why its an essential 'feature' - if I understood any dynamic payback I might forgive the programmed uncouth Tesco 'wonky trolley' behaviour. No one anywhere has stated any reason why this is essential in Porsches yet perfectly dialled out in Astons, Macs, Scoobys and BMW etc...

It's better now its warmer mind, but it does ruin this otherwise very much liked car And as said previously this one is set up to beyond manufacturers alignment tolerances - its bang on spec and matched on both axles courtesy of 5 hours at Centre Gravity!

Still, as long as they made £30k on it...
