Wheel alignment

Post by Catch 22 » Sat Nov 21, 2009 1:57 am

Hi folks,
My car tends to veer to the left whenever I take my hands off the steering wheel. The steering wheel also tends to vibrate when travelling above 120km/h. This even happened when travelling on a flat even road. What could be the problem? I have sent my car for a computerised wheel balancing and it seemed to have solved the vibration problem but the veering to the left is still unresolved. What could be the root cause? Any car expert here can enlightened? Btw, my Honda Freed is still quite new- mileage is slightly over 2K only.

Cheers

1st of all y would any 1 b driving a car w/o holding on 2 the steering wheel 2 check 4 pulling of vehicle :roll:

if u got the alignment checked n vehicle still pulling...it maybe tyre pressure not properly inflated...1 of ur tyre got flat spot or ur steering wheel is not straight :wink:

1.check for uneven wear or unusual bulge on your tyres
2. check your suspensions (esp. coilovers)
3. check steering assembly

Also sad to say some cheap tyres do affect as well. I mean only some.
