Car pulls to one side
#9
Thanks for all that KEVIN, all taken on board. It is what I would term a drift to nearside, it doesn't tug. Tyre pressures are spot on, always very specific with them - 32psi all round. As for swapping front tyres side to side, not sure the dealership did that, certainly front to back though with no difference. As for them being 'directional' not sure, they are Bridgestone Potenza 225/45 R18. Who can I get to calibrate the steering angle sensor, would a motor engineer (non Vauxhall dealership) be able to do it? I understand Quick-Fit have an all singing, all dancing wheel alignment machine, would you trust them?

I called in at another Vauxhall dealership yesterday and spoke to the Service Manager. He told me ALL Astras drift to nearside to a certain degree as they are 'camber sensitive', he wouldn't consider it a problem, only if it tugged hard!

It is all well and good these Vauxhall people saying there is not a problem, but it is ME that is driving the car. I am very disappointed with the drive. When the steering wheel is centred (the bar straight across) the car drifts off to the nearside.

Thanks to all who have contributed posts to this thread, it is appreciated! Thank you all very much.
