Steering Wheel alignment

Hawkensyco · 03-07-2014, 03:03 PM

Don't know if its just me or if this is a more common issue but recently I have noticed that when my steering wheel is straight the car feels like it veers slightly to the right has anybody else experienced this?

Yep. Had the car aligned three times (all under the 2k alignment warranty) at three different dealerships, and still have this problem. Also saw the same thing on a 328d M-Sport loaner as well.

I'm starting to think it's the sensitivity of the EPS and the natural crown of some roads.

capt slow yea I thought it was the natural crown of the road as well because on some roads I feel like the car is aligned perfectly straight then in others you can feel the car slight veering to the right when the steering wheel is straight...It's not the end of the world to me I just wanted to find out if others are experiencing the same thing before I took it in to get aligned but if you saying you done it three times with no change I'm starting to think why even waste my time.

I am having the same problem. Veers to the left. Got it aligned twice at the dealership and once outside. Doesn't solve the problem. Mine is a right hand drive.
