What could be the cause if a car, while u moving straight, when release the steering wheel, will start moving to a side, BUT only happens at times, and not consistant.

I know if its consistant, big chances its the alignment or even the balancing. But i suspect its not it as i've done alignment twice before and still not settled the problem.

Latest symptoms show that it only happens at times. Sometimes after making a full steering turn, the problem will go away for a while, but come back some other time later T.T.

Any help greatly appreciated =D

nothing wrong with it...

it's normal..

abnormal if u hold the steering s8..and it lari one side...

if want to let go steering and the car move s8....

all 4 new tayar...alignment and camber all set to 0.

go to smooth highway...sure s8.

i think there's something wrong with ur suspension..check at workshop better....maybe some loose parts....

is the road smooth??

uneven roads or roads that are cambered can cause a car to go in one direction even though your alignment is right when you remove your hands from the steering wheel...

you mentioned it only happens once in awhile therefore i'm assuming your alignment is not out and your suspension also no problem and its just the road...

it happens in my kancil too don't worry

check for the following.
1. uneven tyre wear
2. alignment & camber setting
3. suspension
4. sub frame and all bushes

all these can cause the car to wander, taking in to consideration of the road conditions
