when you lower a car it needs the tracking doing.

What stan said!

 

[leon]

is there any other reason for it to be dragging?

Your rear axle has shifted over you need to sort out your panhard rod

a search on "bumpsteer" will explain what happens to the tracking when you lower the front

 

[leon]

the back has only been dropped 50mm atm, and the fronts on 80mm im sorting the panhard out this week when i drop back more its the front dragging not the back back feels nice and tight

i searched for bumpsteer and come up with nothing helpful :/

When I first lowered front of my k11 the tracking went out so wild that the nearside tyre wore down to the steel wire in a day :O

always had tracking issues when i lowered all my other cars, when i lowered the micra for the first time i lucked out, and it went so far the other way that it corrected itself, joy!

i searched for bumpsteer and come up with nothing helpful :/

bumpsteer is caused by the trackrods going off horizontal as the suspension moves up and down like this ><
so when you lower the front they are angled/altered from this horizontal position _ _ in an upward direction, which causes the wheels to toe out

okay cheers get it done asap
