I've heard so much that many cars in Malaysia drifts to the left when there is no steering input. Some attempts so hard to fix it, shops charging blatantly for camber nuts for no reason.

Could it have been cross caster in most road cars? I noticed this left drift on my Persona too, where there is no unusual alignment issue diagnosed on machines.


*article mentions right drift as their direction of traffic is opposite of Malaysia. logically our cars should drift left for safety

that's most probably because roads are designed to have some slight gradients to allow surface runoff (rainwater) to disperse quickly to the sides - something realted to drainage

mine tend to drift to the right... if left hands off for prolonged periods lol...

then again i tend to sit on the furthest right lane, and if it's rain water gradient, it does make sense i suppose.
not really a big issue to me since i run on -2.5 to -2.7 camber with about 1 degree toe in.
so for the most part my front wheels are pretty damn planted lol (drawback, really shitty turn radius lol)
