Default Re: steering wheel question

The degree to which steering is affected by is largely a function of the relative positions of the steering axis (the vertical line through the upper and lower ball joints) and the centre of the tyre contact patch. The self-centering behaviour is generally a function of Caster (the rearward inclination of the steering axis) But so many other factors can have an influence, relative tyre inflation, tread pattern, toe, camber and general geometry changes throughout the suspension's movement. I can't say I have noticed anything particularly different about the Crossfire's behaviour.
