New Tyres Cure Steering Drift

[Guest gornall]

I had a serious steering problem which meant that my Galaxy followed any unnevenness in the road moving the wheel around in my hands. The Ford garage couldn't identify the problem at the 10,000 or 20,000 services.I changed the factory fitted Michelins for four new dunlop 20/20 and the problem has disappeared.

Did you have the tracking checked? It was most likely a bad tyre, but toe-out will give the same symptoms and will be cured by new tyres until they wear in.

i didn't have any trouble before hand, but today i have just had two new dunlop's on the front, and grip has improved tremendously!

The Ford garage said that they had checked the tracking. It was the first thing everyone thought of. I'll wait to see if the problem returns once these new tyres have worn in. Ford Customer Care had just got involved as the garage weren't finding the problem and I think they were considering a new steering rack before the new tyres were fitted and seemed to have cured it.
