Challenger steering

Thanks Pickle & John

I drove a brand new one, a 2001 with 59k and a 2000 with 110k on the clock. Both second hand vehicles appeared in good nick and tyres had plenty of rubber( don't know what the psi was on them). Steering was good on the newie then got worse as they aged to the point where the 2000 model was a bit scarey. I really like the vehicle and from all accounts, it appears very capable. The best part is the price and the economy. I have driven a petro and deisel Prado, Petrol NM Pajero and a Pathie. The Pathie was the most carlike to drive I thought, the Prados appeared tough, but trucklike (went over the 4X4Xmore torture track, it was great), and the auto Pajero was good to drive but very thirsty it seems. Maybe it just seems that the Challengers are a bit too good to be true ............. Look forward to your comments.

Thanks again

That type of result over 3 cars definitely point the way you suggest.
Not so sure about the 4x4xmore test track though. I regularly pass it on the way to Bunnings. I live on the southside. Mean to sneak in one day and try it out, but it looks a bit tame.
Did you try the cars down Marshal rd, around those roundabouts and speed control islands? I usually sit on the speed limit through there in the pajero at 40km/hr with a good line. Thats with 85 series tyres too! Popping a couple of wheels over the speed bumps would test the suspension too. Have had bigger bumps out west.

Thanks John,
I didn't try the things you mention. I don't know the southside very well ..... always stayed north of the river. I wish I could afford a Pajero DID, but we all can dream I guess.
