I've had the same problem with the uneven steering on MS's, but that just a recent thing, most are not like that.
I've isolated the problem in my cars to chassis tweak. Look at your chassis at eye level from the front, see if one steering knuckle is sticking out the top more than the other. If it is like mine, then you need to twist the chassis. The side with the least amount of steering knuckle sticking out is the high side, and when you twist your chassis, that side needs to be twisted down. Did that make any sense? I'm going to try to make a picture later on that will better illustrate this for people. The problem is the problem keeps returning. I'm going to experiment with heating up the chassis with a heat gun, and then holding it twisted until it cools.
The idea here is when you turn the outside front corner dives down, lifting traction from the inside rear wheel, allowing tighter turns. When the chassis is tweaked it's diving more on one side than the other.
I'm planning to write a tutorial about this, but first I need more research.

i gotta agree. especially in my skanky-azz house. the floors always have crap on em and the zz tires have grooves so the crap doesn't build up. I dunno exactly what happens, but they stay grippy and don't collect dust and other stuff. a little lower profile too, which is nice.lovedoctor wrote:Not to mention better tires on the ZZs.
