Hey guys,
Got a question for yas. I recently had my 70k service done and the car has been running beautifully (as expected...) However!
When I got it back from teh garage and was driving home I noticed that the steering wheel was rather off centre, so I gave my mechanic a call and asked him what that was all about, so he told me they did a tyre rotation when they did the service. Fair enough, it's pretty SOP these days. So they swapped Front left with Rear Right and Front Right with Rear Left. *wtf?* I was under the impression you swapped out the front with the rears on the same side? Anyways.
I took me car down to see me mate at bobjayne north perth and got a wheel alignment done and straightened out the steering wheel, all good. However, I am getting a weird scrubbing/vibration feeling though the steering wheel and can hear it too, when I am at around 80kph or above, and it's predominantly when I am turning the wheel to the right. I have checked the mudflaps and guards and theres no obstruction there. It feels like it is coming from the front right. I am thinking it might be uneven tyre wear but I am not too sure. As far as I am concerned with tyre wear being uneven theres only 1 solution .............. BURNOUTS. ahem. However, any suggestions? Could the tyres be imbalanced also?
Cheers guys,
-Chris
