    Weird situation...

    Lately I have the impression that when turning right the car is more prone to oversteer than when I turn right (same speed and everything...).
    Its weird and maybe my false impression,but anyways I d like to make a
    question about this.If it s really the case,what could cause it?
    I recently changed suspension (6 months old) and tyres (month old).
    Didn't notice anything suspicious and the car handles much better...

          I'd check alignment before anything

            So, which way is more prone to oversteer?

              Alignment, or a bushing out of many could be worn unevenly.

                Probably alignment again.I had new tires fitted less than 600miles ago...

                  From experience I'd say that most e30's tend to oversteer more to left,not much but usually noticeable.

                  Check rear subframe bushes, if just one is damaged it might cause that.
