Technical Steering problem 53 plate 1.6

[stmterrace]

Discovered a problem with the multi that has gradualy got worse and just wanted to pass it past you guys before letting the garage start pulling things apart.
Car is usually used by my wife on short journeys and I might drive it once a week, discovered on a long motorway journey that the car would keep wandering every now and then a bit like when you suddenenly get a gust of wind from the side which just blows you slightly.
Very disconcerting so checked tyre pressures put a little air in them and thought that was ok but after driving it the other day it seems to still be the same if not slightly worse.
Going to jack it up later to see if anything is hanging off!
We did have the rear subframe replaced late last year and wondered if something is out of line or something lie that.

The location for the rear subframe is pretty vague (no location pins, just four bolts) so it might be worth following the Multi to see if it's 'crabbing'. That said, if it is out, I'm not sure how best to check that it is set square. I spent quite a while 'feeling' it on slackened bolts and tapping it side to side when I did mine.

I'd also get the front tracking checked. From my experience, curbing or even bad potholes can knock it out of alignment. I took it for laser alignment after I did the rear subframe and fitted a recon steering rack.
