Steering broken?

ninja · #1 07-16-2002, 02:52 PM

Just got my Bitchar today, and how much i try the car turns harder when i turn right, if i turn left the car turns in a biiiig circle. I also have to adjust the adjuster under the car to maximum to the left to make the car go in a straight line, it stills draws slightly. Can this be easily fixed?

Check the magnets in your front end. How to open up steering compartment

check the front of the car for metal debris... that is the main cause for malfunction.....

Also take a close look at the magnet's centering in its holder:

I've seen them ship with the magnet biased to one side which has a great affect on steering. Pull the magnet out and re-center it, making sure to retain the pole orientation.

if all else fails you can always send it back

ive been having some steering probs too, when i hit right its like its not sending the signal for about 2-3 seconds, then the turn kicks in. thats just not acceptable. plus i have to push extra hard for it to work. anyone know whats wrong?
