Hi,
For a while now my Stilo has felt odd on the road. The first time I noticed it pulling left/right I figured it was just following ruts in the road or the camber. However, the car (1.9JTD on 17" factory alloys) consistently drifts to either the left or right.
I say drifts, sometimes it feels more sudden than a drift - feels just like I've gone into a wagon rut and it'll pull on way (usually left).
I took it in for tracking and the garage moved back tyres to front, rebalanced all and adjusted the tracking which was +6 out. I also had them fit new front discs and pads as I was aware they were binding a little.
However, none of the above has changed the way the car handles. I've experimented and find that it seems to happen more when in city mode which begins perhaps to suggest that there's a problem with the power steering feedback.
Anyone who's driven a Honda Jazz will know what that power steering feels like (big deadspot in the centre then rather overenthusiastic response) and mine is beginning to feel a little similar to that.
Any ideas Stilo boffins?
