Assuming tyre pressures are correct and the van is pretty level front to rear the understeer is indicative that you need a softer front end: softer springs or softer ARB You could be right. I will re-check the cold tyre pressures and see if that makes a difference too. It has been set up to be pret...

It handles very well, except... in the wet it is awful and will spin up the back wheels in second gear. It also pushes the front when the back does grip. I have read that the Goodyears are really a summer tyre and so am assuming that the loss of grip is down to them and not the suspension set up so...

Hi, also new to this but had some good advice on the problem I was having so thought I would share my experience with tyres and in particular, Goodyear Cargos. I have them on my 2.1 water cooled.

Thanks for that I will have another look and focus on the CVs.

Hopefully you are both right so I can fix it, it's bugging me now...!

Thanks Mocki. Yes recognise that description, the roads were really bad and I did bottom out a few times but everything underneath is in good shape. Checked the half shafts and cvs and nothing loose or knocking. It started on the way over to Fishguard in the rain on the M4 then stopped the next day ...

Hi all, new to this forum and looking for some ideas please. I have an 86 autosleeper pop top which I have rebuilt pretty extensively. Underneath now B8s and eibachs from Brickwerks along with power flex bushes throughout. Engine built from scratch by Andrew at Campershack - 2.1 with an intercooler ...
