steering pulling to the right?

insoc · 02-09-2012, 10:45 AM

Have anyone noticed their car pulling to the right after some miles? When I got mine (2.000 kilometers ago) it was perfectly aligned. I haven't hit any pothole and have been driving my car very carefully but, I don't know why, since last week I've been feeling a slight tendency in my car to pull to the right which is really annoying. I have read stories in other BMW forum about this pulling-to-the-right issues but they have experienced it since the first day, my case is different since it began at almost the 2.000 kilometer mark. Any insight? Thanks!

Even if you think you didn't hit anything it won't harm to have it checked. Also, there could be some problem with one or plus tires. Check the air pressure to be certain everything is setup as required. The runflat tires don't have a good reputation unfortunately so it's a good place to start your investigation.

Very bad to hear that this issue is also valid in the other parts of the world. Some of us here, in Thailand, faces the same issue (the only different is that we were pulled to the left instead). This issue can be easily found on the first day of the drive. Some of the experts said it was the result of Square tyre though.
