Post your results. It may take 4 psi depending on your actual running tire PSI. Some brands/models are a lot more sensitive to tracking than other brands. Side wall and shoulder construction material and designs are the reasons. All can be minimized with pressure changes assuming that the front end parts are within tolerances.



Question on your 4.4:

Which tire size and brand are you running?

Are they the same size and brands on all four corners?

What is the PSI cold reading on all FOUR tires now?



If you are stopped and the engine is off, is there play in your steering wheel (left to right)BEFORE the tires actually move?



Helpful?


I have 2 different brands on mine, front is one brand and back another. Tyre pressure on all 4 is 36 Bar (approx 493 PSI). However, I checked the play in the steering before starting the car and there is some play with a click....what does that mean?
