Scrabbling for front traction

[johnds8]

Hi,

I've noticed that under hard turns, turning out of a junction fast or around a mini roundabout a bit quicker than you should, that there is a noticable scrabling of the front tyres. Sometimes the ESP light comes on.

I am going to be replacing the front arms soon but there is no noticable play or knocks.

Is this just a push-on understeer trait of the 8 or is something amiss?

On my old car I was constantly trying out all manner of different alignments and used to get the same with front toe-in but not with 0 toe. I guess to do with toe-in on turns.

Obviously it is worse on loose surfaces.

Cheers

John
