Taking the car in to have wheel alignment
Put a 2nd strut/spring/top mount on and since the steering has become stiffer and doesn't self centre as good

Hi Mate,

No castor adjustment on the EP3 as standard but everything is sort-able with some choice additions :)

Changing the damper could have knocked the alignment out as there is a small amount of movement in the main bolts that hold the hub on ;)

Caster Front = 1°33' +or- 1°

Total Toe Front = 0 +or-3 mm
Rear Adjust = Toe In 2mm +2 or-1 mm
That's for a standard EP mate, for the EP3 Type-R it should be:

Front -0°18'
Rear -0°53'
Caster -1°40'

Front 0.0 mm
Rear in 2.0 mm

Would think 0 toe will make it twitchy, defo front and rear. What u use the car for? Trying to add caster on front will help too. Do u need that much camber?

Long time ago I had and Ep3 for 220k kilometers in[…]
