Equinox Question
About a month ago, I installed a Roadmaster baseplate on my wife's inherited 2011 Nox, 4 cylinder. I wired up the tail lights with diodes.
This weekend, I towed the Nox for the second time. All went well, BUT I noticed (in my mirrors) that when turning, the Nox front wheels did not seem to pivot as much as they need to in order for the Nox to track the RV through the turn.
I was pretty sure that I could see some "tire sliding" on the pavement as the Nox front end was partially drug sideways in the turn.
During one turn, I rolled through some dirt/dried mud. After the turn, I stopped and went back and looked at the Nox tire track as it had rolled through the dirt. Sure enough, there was evidence of the Nox tire being slightly pulled at an angle and not freely rolling through the turn.
I presume that it has to do with the mechanical resistance of the electrically assisted steering rack.
Has anybody else observed this?
