V40 Steering weirdness

v40cro · Apr 21st, 2020, 14:29

While steering it feels like steering wheel is trying to forcly self center, especially through a long curve, when you turn it aprox 60 degress, above that it feels normal and it only happens when you turn right... Any ideas?

Sounds obvious but worth checking, are your tyres all in good nick and at the correct pressure?

Brand new tires, plus I check pressure atleast once a week, we can cross that off the list

How recently were your new tyres fitted?

Have you checked the wheel securing lugs and the front suspension in case something was inadvertently loosened off and not re secured properly.

Probably another daft suggestion before needing an in-depth inspection:-
Tyres fitted in accordance with correct rotation?

It sounds quite a lot like tramlining to me, was your alignment / tracking checked recently?

Unfortunately everything you suggested has been checked 🤣
Tyres fitted 2 months ago, alignment checked, rotation checked (obviously xD)
