Morning all!
Encountering an odd issue with my '12 plate 500 twinair. Noticed that the car was pulling right when I had the steering wheel dead straight. I assumed it was a tracking issue and had this checked and apparently corrected at a neaby tyre specialist. Within a few days I noticed the same issue, as if the wheels had wandered again. So, assuming the alignment hadn't been done properly I took it back to the type place and they re-did the tracking for me. However, within a few days it's happened again!
This is accompanied by another symptom. However the steering wheel is initially positioned, when I pull away the steering whell will turn about 10-15 degrees to the left.
Not being very technically minded I'm worried that if I simply take it to the dealer to be looked at they'll just assume it's a tracking issue, not something else, and charge me. I don't know if it's been caused by impact with a pothole or speed bump, or if its a fault that may even be covered under warranty, and will keep happening if whoever i take it to just does the tracking again.
Any suggestions on what it might be or how to describe this to the dealer when I contact them would be appreciated.
