Re: 4/4 Sigma 2014, problems with the steering -solved

The 4/4 has the narrowest tires and the lowest weight. Both together mean that the steering is very light around the center position when driving straight ahead, lighter than the power steering of other cars. This had the effect that the steering behavior was quite strange because it became even lighter with the stuck nylon follower. The resulting play at some points of the rack may have been marginal but it was enough that the car did not drive in a straight line line and always required small corrections. In a Roadster or Plus4, the steering forces are generally higher and the tyres are wider so you might not feel the influence of a stuck nylon follower so clearly. But the corrections when driving straight ahead could also be noticeable. Be that as it may, a nylon follower that has been made to work again provides a nice steering feel that is transferred to the hands and always corresponds with the impression of the same gentle spring pressure of the spindle on the rack. As a result, the effort required increases steadily and gradually when I turn a corner. Previously, the effort required when turning into a bend was not so gently rising. And it drives straight ahead again very nicely by itself.
