    SQ8 pix and rear-wheel steering question

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hey, all. Does anyone have experience with all-wheel steering? This car does not seem to "work." I cannot see the rear wheels move, at all, and really no better steering radius than my wife's Q7 when parking, etc. Dealer says to bring it in, of course. Any thoughts appreciated.

    Some phone pix:

    I thought the same, it's almost hard to see the rear wheels turn, maybe stucking a gopro on fender and driving would capture it, but I think the movement is very small. What I do notice is I hear the rear wheel actuator buzz under the body when making a K turn for example, so it must be doing something.

    BTW, car looks beautiful, great trim too !!!

    Is it possible the wife’s q7 also has the adaptive chassis with 4 wheel steering?

    I am sure ours works because the turning radius is exceptionally better then the sq5 we traded in.

    I don’t believe the 4 wheel steering works in ALL instances. I think primarily at high speeds in the same direction as the front wheels, and at low speeds in the opposite direction of the front wheels.
