I'm fairly certain the turn in on my M5 is not all it should be. It is fine in the turn but could be better on the way in.

I'm aware of steering box issues and I think the bushes in the trailing arms have seen better days. I want my car to steer as well as it goes and wonder what others think makes for top notch steering.

Get it to thr Faz or somebody with a similar amount of intelligence, or get to the nearest GOOD alignment place, and get the beast checked and any bushes replaced. Or get the poly bush replacements for her.

steering box next on my list

Seanee , in my experience , upper and lower control arms deteriorate progressively over time......replacement of worn parts results in a massive improvement in handling .

Rear axle beam bushes , arb bushes and obviously , tyres are all areas to be considered .

Is it a bit vague and floaty? How are your front shocks?
