Message: <blockquote data-quote="SilverBullet" data-source="post: 741984" data-attributes="member: 11244">My experience would be tyres/wheel issues...just changed tyres? tyre defects? whats the tyre pressure? rims/tyre width, could it be tramlining? (my datsun has lots of tramlining, gotta really grip the steering wheel at times), I would guess the problem is mostly related to tyre pressure, COLD tyre pressure that is..try running 36-38psi cold pressure all-round...don't trust shops or mechs, must do this yourself...if all fails then go for more expensive options such as steering angle sensor, traction control system interfacing, etc...do update us when the problem has been rectifiedOn another note, when traction control off, even at straight roads, pls be gentle on the accelerator...I have fishtailed a few times on a straight road even with traction control on...due to the sudden torque <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />Just my 2 cents..p/s: when that happens, just release the accelerator (try not to jam on the brakes, a slight tap is still ok (tried this once just to test the myth)) while at the same time counter steering as fast as possible to match the car's turning rate..the car will correct itself (with the help of ESC/DSC available in most modern cars nowadays) after a couple rounds of daredevil moments <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> Even with traction control (DTC) off, DSC will still always remain active to protect the driver and the car</blockquote>
