Hitting the steering rack limit

[MiamiBlue]

Not a fault (I don't think?!), but has anyone noticed when you reach the limit of the steering rack (full lock turn for parking etc) it's a sudden clonk, rather than a soft damped stop?

Yup, this is a thing.

Yes, worried me too but I think it's normal.

The Ackerman compensation at full turn is way off, too. I can feel the tires dragging like no other car I have owned.

Good to hear that it's normal. I've been worried about that too . It's a very loud clonk.

The more pronounced issue is the tire skipping while rolling at full lock, like when backing out of a driveway. It's as if the tires are running over a bunch of pebbles. Think it's part of the same problem. Anyone else experiencing that?

My comments about the Ackerman compensation being off were based on my experience backing out of my driveway every morning. I assume the suspension/turning geometry was optimized for higher speeds. I can live with that.

It was exactly the same with my Evora 400
