Bumpy Hard Turn
Wondering if this is normal or signs of a problem in an 86 3.2:
If I am turning the steering wheel all the way to one side and turning the car slowly (as when doing a three-point turn), I feel a strange, but fairly substantial bump or two as the car turns. As I straighten the wheel and continue driving, it goes away. Any ideas as to what might be causing this? In other words, what will I have to order from Pelican Parts next? :/ |

See if the tires rub the inside wheel well.... My left one does ever so slightly for some reason... stock setup too (basically).

To a certain extent, what you are describing is normal.

I haven't had it lowered, but it has about 103K miles. The tires are new, so don't have enough wear to tell much of anything. Is this a job for an alignment specialist or can an amateur adjust the toe?

if you put tires on it, go get it aligned.
i jsut put tires on my 930. i did not think my alignment was bad other than my right rear camber. turns out he adjusted all 4 corners and it is incredible to drive. i just went to a tire shop, based on a suggestion because he had the latest machine, plus 40yrs exp. turned out to be a super deal. dont think you have to got to a porsche shop and spend $300. BTW, i had too much too in causing the same problem you have. felt like my tires were grinding on rocks when iturned it going slow.
