Problems with steering?!

Post by sublime19 »

Hi guys,

I've noticed sometimes when my FTO is in high revs, or on higher speeds (60+ kms/hr) the steering wheel gets really sensitive and the car sways..? not so much that its dangerous, but when the V6 kicks in the steering gets a bit wobbly.. any ideas why? 8O

There is an orange indicator light at the top right corner of your cluster. Does that start blinking when “V6 kicks inâ€

I was told when I bought the car I might need a wheel alignment, can't believe I forgot about this.
So now this is the problem most likely?

Hey sublime.

Where in Sydney do you live? Go to Heasmans Steering in Sydenham or West Coast in Kirawee. They are the best people to see for a wheel alignment. You have to book for both though, they are very busy people.

Also check your tyre pressure. If the tyre pressure is too high, the steering tends to be more sensitive.

Thanks for the info i'll definately give them a call about it.
I live near Castle Hill but I work at Ryde and go out to city almost everyday after work to meet friends, so I don't really mind any travel :D
