handling

  1. I have never got this ...

    I used to work in motorsave we used to test drive vehicles [after and before repairing them]I could tell if a ball joint had gone or the steering was dodgy or brakes out of balance etc...But every car drove the same to me ,ok some were better to drive [turn],ie power steering ...

    But I turn the steering wheel and the car turns is this handling?

    Just thinking maybe I need to do a 100 round a corner to gauge bad and good handling?

    and why did I like the Morris Marina so much ,aquaplaning was fun ..:thinking:

    Btw I have had lowered bays and some seemed a bit more of a fight to turn..

    is it to do with bounciness? [it`s a word]
     
  2. I could bore you to death on the infinite settings and feel that go towards "handling" but that's race handling which I suspect you don't mean?
     
  3. When I use to race track cars I use to like them to run tight but when drifting I liked it to run loose front and back but I would just like my van to go and stop that would be great

    Zed Gradually getting grumpier

    It means stuff like does it want to go straight on when you want to turn, or does the back loose traction and swing out first when you go too fast round a corner. In my experince in the wet a bay does the first one. Not good towing a couple of dinghies and nearly ending up in a field.
