has any1 had any problems or does any1 know wot might be wrong with my steering.
i lowered my polo not long ago and recntly the car just steers where it wants to wheels line up so they're ok

Dieses Problem ist in Deutschland hinreichent bekannt.Der Forderbau des Polo`s verformtsich, weil er zu instabiel gebaut wurde auf www.vwtuningsalzmann.de findet man eine recht teure lösung dennoch gut

I try in english

In Germany a lot of people know about this problem. the mk3 (in Germany 2F) is in the frontpart to soft~ the body is moving
help you can find on www.vwtuningsalzmann.de, than go on "Polo Spezial" and than on "Verstärkungsrahmen G40 + Co." just take a look at the pic`s
i hope you understand

the most obvious thing is to check the tracking if you havn't had this done recently

but then your description isn't the best of saying "just steers where it wants" so if you could elaborate slightly better we may be able to diagnose a little better

right well theres quite a few things and im not quite sure what they are, wen i put my brakes on the steering shudders, theres is alot of clonking and banging on the steering when i move the wheel always in the same position and generally the steering is s**t and after lowering the car i would have thought it would hav bin better. perhaps like u say i need to get the tracking done and maybe the bushes and antiroll bar checked

what do you guys think???

if you havn't had the tracking done since the lowering then that's without doubt gotta be your 1st thing to try, if it's still having problems then give us a shout, have you checked the brake pads and discs yet to see if theres anything odd going on as the juddering brakes will probably be to do with that, sometimes happens when they are getting towards the end of their life

okay then ye cheers ye i have had the discs and pads changed but ye i'll get the tracking done and get back to you

Juddering brakes may be the anti roll bar bushes, i had the same other year and swapped to g40 cup car bushes. Tracking is probably out after lowering it anyway even if its not visable to the eye.

The clunking could just be the springs in the seats..mine did it for the first day or so until they bedded in...other than that it could be the steering arms touching the body on full lock now you are low..not a problem.

ive had the tracking done on my polo absolutly spot on so really its just down to antirollbar bushes see if they cure it what do you think?? do you recon the standard antiroll bar is ok and do you think i should just get some new bushes from vw perhaps g40 ones would they work better??
