[QUOTE="astroboy, post: 605677, member: 4527"] So from what I gathered here, this so called excessive bumpsteer is an unwanted result for the car, which means some mechanical component in the car is not functioning the way it should. Pardon me for my naiveness as I want to understand more about the "problem", is it the car designer's fault in designing such a car with excessive bumpsteer, or some part faulty/looseness due to wear and tear? My E90 ran on RFT when it was new, also suffered excessive bumpsteer, I suspect the RFT side wall too stiff. Hence transmitting the bumpsteer effect. Now my bumpsteer not so serious because I use non RFT tyres. Yet, 5-10 degree is common still because it react to the contour of the road surface. Am I suppose to "fix" it? or reduce it's sensitivity? [/QUOTE]
