my subaru 5 spd legacy thats only 6 weeks old veers off to the right.
I noticed that the steering wheel was cockeyed to the right a bit when I first got it. I figured no biggie. Its a lease and I can get an alignment for free since I just got it. For a month I put it off cause I was having so much fun in it. (snow up in buffalo, and just came off driving a minivan for 5yrs) (along w/ new v1 radar detector, I was able to hit 103mph on a back country road here whoo hoo!)
So when I calmed down, and drove more normal, I remembered the pull.
If you hold the steering wheel level while cruising along, it will pull to the left. If you let go and let it self settle, It's a 1/2 off and will hold straight for 5 secs then pull right.
I've had it back to the dealer 3x as of tonight. 3 damn alignments. No change. the second time I had a teck drive it w/ me in it. He was like "yeah, it's a bit to the right", "I've had worse where people did'nt complain".
Well excuse the f--k out of me! :smt013
The poor service advisor girl is way nice and feels my plight, as I told her I need it fixed for a ski trip 3 hour drive on friday, and I don't want to have to keep straightening out the whole way down there. I just want to speed w/ my new V1, and be a porsche in the snow :smt026
Today, 2 tecks drove it and claimed it drives perfectly straight except for normal crowning in road. Ugh, I hate that excuse. It veers right no matter how the road is slanted! I explained this many times.
So I pick it up, and predictibly the same thing. So I come home too tired to call and complain. I've got to get 3 little kids and a wife ready to go to the trip. And, My service advisor girl calls to see if ok. I told her the news, and how I don't know where to go w/ this. And she acted concerned, that I'd get a call from the head mechanic who was sick today and not in.
I don't know what I should do from here. Am I too picky? Do all these subarus have pull in them? Are all the steering wheels off center a bit? AM I LOSING MY MIND!!!!!! :smt031
