Hi Damo , mine has the turning circle of a B double if that helps and when in low range more like one of those big road trains .
When I drove a GU coil wagon I was quite shocked at how much better the turning circle on it was compared to my leafy GU ute.
You haven't got GU diffs in them by chance?

Yeah that's what I thought maybe the limiting bolts on the swivel housings are undone. They have a habit of coming lose or falling out.Quote:

turning circle? its more of a turning arc.
Still has a better turning circle than a TP Magna.
turning circle? what's that then?
I think turning circle and fuel economy don't exactly have much meaning to most 4X4 owners .Quote:

Cheers for the replies. Seems I'm not alone then. In the dunes it seems OK. Just plant my foot to bring it around.
Just a pain to park. Seems I'm always taking a couple of bites to get into a spot. I doubt I've got GU diffs as it was stock as when I got it a few weeks ago.
i thought the gq turning circle was bad until i got my 79dc
My mate had a PT Cruiser, I’ll bet that would have to have the worst turning circle of any car ever produced.
A straight Uturn in my GU would be a five point turn for him.
Similar the navara work vehicle i had turned like the Titanic. Get in the GU felt like turning a mini in comparison :DQuote:

So does anyone know how many meters the turning circle of a GQ is. Apart from huge.
It is quite poor but my previous civic was any better.
It's around the 13m mark, possibly a bit more...... I read somewhere that the GU is 12.6mQuote:
