Drift To The Left - Normal Or Not ?

[NDM]

Hi Forum,

I've had my little Aygo for a month now and have been following the various threads and finding them v v v useful.

Now to my question - The car is brand new and I've only done 250 miles - during that time, on a mixture of roads I have noticed that to keep her in a straight line the steering wheel is slightly left hand down. There is no pull to the left, it just seems that the natural position for my stearing wheel is at about 5 to 12.

The reason I'm posting here before going straight back to Mr T is that the car does appear to be quite camber sensitive and I have found the odd road where my wheel is nearly in the 12 o'clock position so I wanted to get a few other opinions before I go knocking and making sure my tyres aren't being scrubbed.

Other than this minor hitch I love the car and thats saying something as I've just down graded from an x-type due to a works car being provided.

sounds like they have put the wheel on crooked - irritating rather than a problem

It is just sensitive. Wouldn't worry about it. I just had my car tracked and I still find myself correcting the steering in the fast lane on dual carrigways.

Ours too, although we also have a fault with our steering in that it feels like the motor needs replaced

had that feel sometimes it goes as u said to 5 to 12 position its seems like the motor skips a tooththen go back to normal! i even noticed that sometimes it gets a bit hard , but as i say it gets back to normal !
