I have Cayman which is running maximum spec negative camber on the front wheels. The car was set up by a specialist specialising in geometry.
I note that on most UK roads (where the road crowns to the left), when driving straight the steering wheel is truned slightly right (say 1-2 degree of counter steer) to compensate. If the wheel is held level i.e. no counter steering, the car will drifts to the kerb.
If I drive in the middle of this same straight road (when safe to do so), the steering wheel is held level and the car drives straight. If I drive on the opposite side of this same straight road (when safe to do so), the steering wheel is required to be counter-steered 1-2 degrees left to compensate (else, with the wheel level, it will drift to the right and the off-side kerb).
In short is a small counter-steering expected when travelling straight to compensate for the crown of the road?
What is the experience of other Porche owners.
