Bad Steering

[Amok]

I have installed a Suntour Raidon front fork to an old mtb frame. Problem is that since then the bike`s steering feels like its out of control. What did I do wrong?

It is to tight !! Loosen the shock a bit

What fork was on there?

what travel was the old fork? What travel is the new fork?

 

[capecyclist]

sounds like a travel mismatch. what's the frame specc'd for? and what have you put on?

It might also be the little spacer that fits into the bottom bearing of the headset. If that does not fit right into the Bearing then it might give a "out of control" feeling.

 

 

 

Put he old Spacer of your old fork on there.

You need to make sure the angle of the crown on the fork matches the angle of the bottom bearing in the headtube. I had this problem with my bike and I know exactly what you mean by the out of control feeling. I ended up buying the full kit for my bike, crown, bearings and bearing housings.
