my friend just bought a IX, he doesn't have an account here so I'm asking this question for him

How are the steering angle on the IX when it's full lock left or right? he seems to be having a lot of trouble doing U-turns since he can only manage to fully lock the steering wheel to around 45 degrees. The steering rack is center and the steering wheel can only turns 1.1 revolution both ways. Is this normal?
On the side note, I know the previous owner did slam his car and went for the stagger stance (hella flush) with negative six degrees camber at one time... would aftermarket suspension components that needed for this kind of stance affect steering angles at full lock? thx for reading

 

Evo's have one of the worst turning radius'. 1g's were bad, 2gs worse, Evo is on a whole new level with something like 33ft. You get use to it though.

 

If anyone ever wanted to the Lancer has great turning radius and the steering rack is interchangeable , i could see it possibly rubbing because of the wider tires .
Turns about 1.8 turns .

 

Yeah it's pretty bad, I have to have a second go at parking occasionally cause I'm not used to it yet. Completely normal.

 

Hes going to have to get used to do 3 point turns from now on..

 

i guess it's normal then.. thx for the reply guys

 

Wiiiiddddeeeee xD

 

well if you want a good turning radius get a miata...besides evos dont turn, you turn the key and they rotate the planet to get you where you want to go

 

yea lol it sucks when u get an opening to make a u turn but sometimes u gtta pass cause u dont have time to back up an extra time haha

 

For those who watch Futurama:

It also uses a Dark Matter Engine, which, instead of moving the ship, just "moves the universe around the ship"

 

this in my opinion is the only bad thing about a evo for a family car....i mean mitsubishi gave there full size truck a better turning radius.

i had a raised suburban make a u-turn once and i had to 3 point it

 

precisely...well the VIIIs and the IXs at least

 

My truck has a better turning radius then my Evo. lol

 

lol I guess the fun outweighed the little things

 

wurd
