K20A2:

I would say the thing to do would be to take it to the workshop and let them have a look at it - but not to change anything. If they think they could improve it, let them have a go - but make sure they can get it back to how it is now in case its worse!

Thanks Henry,
could you perhaps give me a hint, what they should change/check or look for or is it obvious for mechanics being experienced in that?

From posts I've read on this subject, I suspect the Atom 3 steering upgrade, the shimming that is mention and the improved handling reported, it's a correction for bump steer. If the workshop you mention "..have the tools and knowledge to build up cars from scratch.." then they should be able to check for, and correct, bump steer.

I purchased this guage from DT to check my Atom 2. It was well within the generally accepted range for bump out with no bump in.

If the Atom 3 steering upgrade is something different I'd be interested to know too

It isnt really obvious to be honest - Its very much fine tuning of everything.

Ping me an email and I will attempt to describe specifics.
