Taycan RWS issues ?

[SoccerMan94043]

Still on my lonesome PAR-RWS-CT crusade, i asked Chris Perkins, the Motor1 editor, to comment on the more detailed findings from C&D and my own insights, and whether they sound familiar with his "castering around" comment.

I've been watching this thread as I also have PAR and RWS, but on the regular Taycan, not the CT. I haven't experienced what you described, but maybe I haven't pushed it enough to know (I've only reached ~1.0g in turns).

The comment from the Motor1 editor... he said he turned off active ride pretty much. Did he still have the same "castering" around? It's not clear from the comments.

One thought, assuming I don't have the same behavior: perhaps the additional 20mm ride height is the difference (coupled with PAR and RWS)?

You cannot turn Active Ride off, the car would be undriveable. Drive mode selection just applies different parameters to Active Ride, but Active Ride is always on.
The issues i describe are specifically NOT related to hard cornering and only happen in Normal mode.
Case 1: 80-100 km/h, very shallow constant radius curve, 5 deg steering angle, gentle pavement undulations. The rear axle wiggles at ~0.5Hz, you can feel your upper body sway.
Case 2: 100 km/h, sharper turn in, the rear turns in too aggressively, feels like it is oversteering.

All of this happens in the low setting, which i have set as default for Normal, so CT ride height does not seem to be the reason since it largely overlaps with the ride height of a sedan or ST.

I assume he turned off "Active Pitch Control" and "Active Tilt Control" which I believe are comfort setting used in Normal mode.
