gamer2030 Clutched May 11, 2020 Share May 11, 2020 Hi anybody notice a slight pull towards the left when cruising at higher speeds on highways? Had some mechanics have a look, have balanced wheels, rotated etc but its still there. Brought car in for wheel alignment and there is really nothing wrong. It really very minor, but i notice it on long cruises. Just wanted to see if others have encountered something similar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamburger Hypersonic May 11, 2020 Share May 11, 2020 Its the tyre. Try placing the back to the front and see how it feels. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is really very minor, and only noticeable over a large distance, then it is not the car but the road. Most of our roads are cambered to the left to cater for water drainage, and its natural for a car to drift to the left. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If 3.3 version its running staggered setup, can't rotate back to front. Not too sure about 2l though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will be happy to test for you! Meanwhile can try swapping the front wheels left to right to eliminate possibility of tire/wheel problem. 😁 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watwheels Supersonic May 13, 2020 Share May 13, 2020 (edited) You guys do know that roads are built with a slight gradient to drain off rain water? If your car is pulling towards the longkang. It's fine. Blame it on the electric power steering that modern cars have. It gets even lighter when you are on the expressway.

Hold steering wheel straight then if car straight its ok if let go steering wheel to test sure will pull to the left Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firehorse 1st Gear May 13, 2020 Share May 13, 2020 Take a different car, drive the same road....see got pull at the same place and same direction. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamburger Hypersonic May 13, 2020 Share May 13, 2020 Trust me guys, been there done that. When the car pulls, it's not the gradient of road that caused it, although it is one of the attributes to a lesser extend. Mine pulled. A Pirelli P7. Did 4 wheels alignment, side slip, changed lower arms and control arms that were little worn. Nothing works. Finally decided the most expensive fix, 4 new tyres. Works like a charm. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamer2030 Clutched May 14, 2020 Share May 14, 2020 Thanks guys. Yea its really vey minor and car travels straight with the steering wheel straight. There is a preference for it to tilt towards the left which, as you guys mentioned, may be due to the left camber of the highways and roads. Anyone have recommendation of any sites with truly flat roads around SG? Like a huge empty carpark or very very flat straight road of maybe 1-2 kms? C&C said they can test for me but I don't want to trouble people if this is a common thing everyone experiences. Btw I have rotated the tyres front to back and left to right (2 L stinger so non-staggered set-up). Still there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you need 1-2 km of road to detect it, or if you need to look out for it, you really really don't have a pulling problem lah. It's like a dripping water tap. Once it gets into your head you can't stop thinking about it, and it gets worse and worse. If you are truly disturbed by it, you can get the car alignment set up to pull slightly to the right. But it's not something I would do. Edited May 14, 2020 by Toeknee_33 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is if you just go to the workshop empty handed. If you know where to source for parts online, conti servicing can be very cheap as well. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
