Astra J Drifting to nearside
#1
I recently bought an Astra Elite 1.6 which is now 10 months old (1st Registered December 2013), it only had 2,600 miles on the clock when purchased. The car drifts to the nearside and the steering wheel is off centre - slightly to right. It has been back to the dealership on x3 occasions and I am told the alignment is spot on. I am also told that as it is fitted with 18ins wheels (factory fitted) that is causing the problem - ALL Astra with 18ins or 19ins wheels drift to the nearside! I have contacted Vauxhall and one of its Technical men has examined/driven the car and he states there is not a problem, it 'drives as it should and as expected when leaving the factory'!! I would appreciate any advice or help regarding this matter please. In my opinion, a new'ish car should not be drifting to the nearside. Even on an adverse camber road (running down left to right) the car drifts to the nearside! Any assistance would be great. Many thanks!
