Since 2 years I own a TVR Taimar which I imported from the USA- Seattle. Not so long ago I did let my mate drive the car. He builds rally cars, so he does know a bit about cars.

When you come out of a turn with the car, the steering wheel has to helped back. I do not know the correct english words for the ability for the column/rack to turn the steering wheel back on its self. He said "there must be something wrong in the column or the rack". One could only find out what the cause is when you get the column out and the steering rack aswel.

I now bought a German classic car magazine because it had a test in it with the 3000M. The autor mentioned the same experience on this car. A bad steering reset it says on the google translator. Perhaps that is the best way to describe it.

How do your cars behave guys?

Which U-joints do you mean in the column and what should be done with bump steer correction?

I run 205/70R14 on Wolfrace's. The trunnionkit has been renewed recently.

Okay. So that means dismanteling the steering column then… and then work on if this does not help.

But, are there owners who have a very good self centering of the steering? Raise hands if yes.....
