Hi All,

I've had my 09 G6ET for about 4 months, and it has bump-steering issues on rough roads at 80 kph + speeds. The steering is fine at speeds below 80, and at higher speeds on smooth roads. As soon as I go over 80 on a rough surface road, the steering wheel starts "dancing" from side to side as the front wheels hit bumps. It has done this since I bought it.

I have replaced the front tyres with new Nitto Invos, and had a wheel alignment done. The alignment was done at a Kmart Tyre & Auto, I believe by the apprentice who only checked and adjusted F&R toe. I suspect I need a bit more castor.

I've done a search & found front alignment settings for an FG, but haven't found rear specs. Can anyone help with this?

I'm also looking for a suspension place / wheel aligner in Adelaide (preferably northern side) who is capable of checking camber & caster & resetting as needed, and who actually knows what they are doing & will do it properly. I had someone that I used, but they have moved on, and I'm sick of paying for half-assed jobs.

Cheers

Can't help with what's wrong but can recommend this place for a wheel align

They did my car after the new suspension was installed

Just an update on this problem. I didn't go to Cluse Bros as I've had issues there in the past. Ended up going to the Tyrepower on North East Rd, Expensive Daewoo Hill - also called Web Suspension. The tech there knows his stuff, and did a very thorough inspection & wheel alignment. The alignment was way out, and the car is now totally different to drive. I am very happy, and would recommend them to anyone wanting a decent alignment done in Adelaide.
