Car Forum / GMC Cars / August 2005Drifting to the right
I have a 2001 Prism that has a very slight tendency to "drift" to the right if I take my hands off of the steering wheel. I checked tire pressure and all four are at 30 PSI. Is this normal (it might have done this before but I never noticed it) and if not, what could cause this? ---MIKE--- >>In the White Mountains of New Hampshire >> (44° 15' N - Elevation 1580') Prior to having the alignment checked switch the ft tires lt to right, see what happens.

Um, well its not the car, most roads are crowned, to keep the surface dry...  Signature1984 RZ350 Automobiles need a "vernier" steering control, so the driver can trim out any "drifting to the right" (or left) tendencies. Its doable, believe me, because Generous Motors knows how. Insist upon it the next time you go out to buy a new $35,000 car. All cars should be neutral, hands off. Anything else is pure torture and takes all the fun out of driving. |
