steering wheel moves by it self
Hi all,
I know this is a newbie question and I promise I tried searching but nothing came up.
I live in sydney and the roads here are terrible. Trucks on hot days make up to 5 centimeter grooves in the roads because their heavy and the road becomes soft on hot days.
Anyway, this causes my steering wheel to quite dramatically move from left to right.
Even by holding the steering wheel with 2 hands and giving it all my strength to hold it steady, it still slightly moves left to right as it goes over these grooves in the road.
Is this normal and to what extent is it normal? The steering wheel stays dead straight on flat smooth surfaces just has a lot of problems over these kind of grooves on the road ...

Yes it is normal. Since the steering on the S2K is very sensitive any varience in the road will be felt in the steering wheel. The worse the road surfice the more you will notice wheel movemnet.

Its normal - the steering is directly connected to the wheels and the turning radius is quick, so you really full the road tug on your wheel.
Maybe a bumpsteer kit would help keep the suspension from tugging the car around too... do you have an aftermarket suspension?
