Steering problems with E36 M3

[janic9820]

Hey Guys,

I have an issue with both of my E36 M3's which I can't figure out. While I turn in to a corner with those cars, the steering is like blocked when the corner ends and the car either crashes into the barrier or leave the track into the gras/gravel. I tried to fix it with different controller settings but the issue keeps remaining.

Is here somebody else with this issue?

Thank you for your help

Have you lowered it or fitted wider wheels. If so, the wheels are fouling the wheel arches. You'll need to raise it, or go back to standard width wheels.

Hey daan,

Both are lowered one with Sportsuspension the other with adjustable Suspension and both on wider wheels. I've adjusted the Suspension but it keeps remaining.
Maybe I try it with the wheels now.

Thanks for the hint

Edit: Gone back to 17 inch wheels and standard tie width. Now it's workin'.
Thanks mate

As above, wheels hit arches and prevent steering. Increasing front body height or front natural frequency will solve this if you want bigger/wider wheels.

Everything's cool and all, but this is maybe the only car that suffers so much from this issue. I think it's way to sensitive in terms of wheels rubbing the arches. It happens in every configuration: stock ( not so sensitive), full custom suspension with it's stock height ( very sensitive) undrivable, wide body with full custom suspension, undrivable. Even if I raised full custom suspension +10mm it still occurs. You cannot do anything with this car, when you counter steer a slight oversteer, every time you end up in the wall. I want to enjoy it but I can't.

It ain't the only car. Try Sierra Cosworth with big wheels. Well, the size wasn't the problem, but the offset was. Not the size or wide caused problems, if you put normal offset.
