Minimum turning circle

[daveblueozzie]

According to the fact of the month on the front page of fury the minumum turning circle is 5.5 metres.
According to this its 11metres.

It can't possibly be 5.5m can it?

By comparison to the new Honda civic, in reality my wagon had a tighter turn....

5.5m is the turning radius, 11m is the "wall to wall" turning circle.

5.5 happens to be half of 11 - strange coincidence that.

I kind of worked out there was a correlation.. in my opinion not that scary on the corners with an AFT on top... Had the pleasure of driving P reg 4x4 2.5 derv auto one yesterday... Though i thought my N 4x4 2.5 derv auto had just a little mo poke! Not planning on a change....

According to some reviews, the minimum turing circle can be enhanced with the help of honda civic lug nuts. I haven't tried it yet personally but I'll go for it next time.

[Poohbear]

What are lug nuts?

Probably wheel spacers to allow your front wheels to turn further before they scrub on the chassis. But not for long before your wheel bearings collapse due to the increased loading

[jaylee]

Is it possible "wheel spacers" could put undue premature wear & stress on the steering components too?

I would have thought so as you are increasing the distance from the the centre of the tyre to the steering arm point. Thus a bigger moment, more force required to operate it.

V pleased with the Bongos turning circle, but is 2wd better than 4wd?
