lifting inside rear wheel

[reg]

could anyone tell my why my cougar and others lift the wheel when turning into tight turns,what should i look for and how do i stop it

[Trish]

If my cars do this then I normally stiffen up the front as its just colapsing mid corner or sometimes it could be that the rear is quite stiff doesnt roll with the front and stays flat so its only natual for the rear to cock one leg up :)

As Trish has said, soften the rear or stiffen the front. I usually run some external limiting on the front shocks to limit up-travel which also helps stop the inside rear lifting.

thanks chaps,i run 4hole ghea 35losi with 3.5 spring and 2mm external limiter in the front and 5hole ghea 30losi with 2.5 spring in the rear,the only thing i did different was half preload on the front and full on the rear,would that be enough to upset the balance as the car is dialed for me every were else,

Its not necessarily a bad thing though, as at the point of wheel lifting you will have already braked, and are cornering sharp, and as you turn out from the corner the wheel will be back down before you need to apply throttle. As long as the car feels stable and planted, don't be alarmed.

Chrislong i know what your saying but its not just the effect it might have on the car,its the tire wear,

Reg - Did you get this sorted? If so, what of the above worked for you?

it sounds like your running the front end too soft i would go to 40wt oil and 4.0 or even 4.5 springs
