Steering problems
My new MS Pro is having steering problems. Without the body, I adjusted it to go straight. When I put on the body, it steers severely to the right. I checked if the wheels rubbed against the chassis or body, if there was any dust or carpet, changed steering springs, and took all the magnetic stuff that gets caught. It still didn't fix it and I also put the steering trim al the way to the left. It still went to the right sharply, but not as much. When I take off the body, it goes to the left. Anybody know what's wrong?

hmm.... i cant be 100% sure, but this sometimes happens to me... no explanation for it, but pull the front end apart... take a look at the steering spring... but be warned that the damn thing is VERY easy to lose.... but well, taking it apart and putting it back together usually works out for me...

I already have dont that over and over. The best way to fix it was bending the steering spring sharply to the right. It goes straight with the body on now but it makes a curves to the left with the body off. Underturn to the left too.

its probably rubbin against the body!
\i though my car didnt rub too when i first lowered it, the wheels seemed to be totally away from the body but after sanding it this mess was fixed, if u dont have a dremel take some sand paper and glue it on a pen cap and put it in ur drill and use it to sand the wheel wells.

I doubit it's rubbing. It is a FS mod so it has a higher chance though. Would a file work instead of a dremel or sandpaper?

I did some tests. Took out the dual cell and FS mod. From my tests, it is the body. It's not just my painted body, it is the whole style of that body. All 3 of my RX-7's gave me the same problem. My skyline and celica were fine with it. Anybody know what is wrong? Do you think that the body is touching the suspension bar? The suspension bar I use is the one with 3 holes so it sits up higher than other ones so if I changed it back to stock, would it fix it?

I fixed it. Yep, suspension was touching the body. I changes the suspension to a completely flat bar.
