After 12 years and 70K miles of rock solid handling my 04 Dynasty is wanting to go to the right. In the past I could let go of the steering wheel for 15+ seconds without changing lanes but now I'd be in the ditch. It still handles well... does not wander but it takes 15 degrees of a turn to the left to go straight requiring a fair amount of pressure on the steering wheel. This has been going on for the last 2500 miles from GA to WY on interstates and non.
Nothing has changed: Same tires for three years, same pressures, have not hit anything, no signs of abnormal tread wear. It's not the crown of a two lane road as even if I put it in the wrong lane, it ends up where it belongs and headed for the ditch. A strong cross wind from the right side helps to get it back to going straight.
The toe in has not changed... still a little less than 1/8th inch and it's not a wandering issue or a political statement... I'm stumped.
*PS: It's not a brake dragging issue as I run TPMS and still temp my tires/brakes/wheel bearings atleast once a day.
Dick,
On your end nothing has changed so the search must be due to an event - Shocks - Pot hole - Bearing Wear - alignment - I'll throw tires in as they are three year old.
Once had something similar on an old Dump truck - it was bearing - would only happen once in a blue moon - but my mechanic made the change and it went away.
Know you will chase this till you find a solution, let us know.
Best of Luck
Bill
