Steering issues
« on: 08 February 2010, 23:00 »
What would make a car suddenly pull to the right whilst driving normally? This happens regularly. My limited knowledge of cars suggests tracking but I suspect it is not that simple. Any thoughts?

Check the tyre pressure and wear on the tyre. Make sure the bushes are fine and then have the alignment done.

Tracking or camber, worn tyre on the side in question will not help.

This is what I was dreading, complicated reasons. :sad: Anyway I checked the tyre pressures this morning, they were high and a bit uneven, and since then it hasn't happened, albeit on very short journeys. Thanks for the replies and heres hoping it was a simple cure. :embarassed:
