Default Possible steering issue.

Righty need some advice. Over the past few days ive noticed that when i come to a junction and turn right and then drive on the wheel will stay to the right slightly if that makes sense? like theres more resistance if i was to turn the wheel to the left, again if that makes sense. But then after a short drive (maybe a bump in the road helps) the steering feels fine again, odd.

Car is a 96 classc lowered on d2 coilovers. Wether this is a charactoristic of the set up i dont know?

Cheers for any help guys

Dan.

Hi Dan

Do you have latest wheel alignment?

If yes can you post over here.

Second bit what I would check is,underneath I would check if ride height is in same place,you can check ride height just when you remove the wheels and measure from bottom lock collar to second as per this picture(its not mine,only borrowed from Supra forum)

I haven't got the settings unfortunately. The car is going on the ramp in work tomo as I'm getting new pads fitted and replacing the rack bushes to see if that helps. Does unlevel ride height sound like my issue? I can check the measurements tomo

Unlevel ride height can cause lots of problems,but too bad wheel alignment,I would check wheel alignment first with ride height

And second I would check too if belts are OK for power steering/alternator,if you have volt gauge check when you driving what voltage you are getting from Alternator or when this happens

Last bit check if power steering fluid is OK
