Seems to be a pattern occuring re: (17" Bridgestone RE040 225/45/17)???
1- LXRY- 06 euro luxury (17" bridgestone potenza's) drifts right 13000 klm
2 - cgspot-06 Euro Sport (17" bridgestone potenza's) drifts right 2400klm
3 - clowdz-06 Sports.(17" Bridgestone Potenza) Pulling Right day 1 1200KM's
4 - tanalasta - Euro Sport with (17" OEM Bridgestone) strong pull right 6300km
5 - V205 - 05 Lux (17" Bridgestone) , drift to the right, 9300km.
I Have 06 Lux Auto on standard rims and tyres. I never had the drifting problem but my seering wheel was not straight. The bottom spoke of the wheel was around about the 5 oclock position when the car was tracking dead straight. At the 1000 km service they adjusted the tie rods at the front and it is now perfect. Wheel is now dead centre and no drift or pulling.
I swapped my original tyres with Conti sport contact 2 from new and don't have any of the problems that you guys are talking about!!!Bridgestones look like the culprit!Quote:

My new car now tracks nice and straight. Now if only I could get rid of the seatbelt beep...
After getting my car lowered i,of course got a 4 wheel alignment.I think a good wheel alignment has a lot to do with eliminating the drifting issues that some of the guys are having.I think the alignment from the factory leaves a lot to be desired!!!!:honda:Quote:

Mine started at 4000klm's and dealership knew it wasn't alignment problem, I asked them to do it twice they assured me it wasn't alignment, plus it doesn't do it when it's on a straight road, runs perfectly straight on a straight road....only when road cambers.

6 - Woogler - 06 Euro sports (17" bridgestone potenza's) Pulls right since day one! 2700km's now.
well what is wrong with the car then? It is perfectly normal for the car to follow the camber in the road.Quote:

If it was as simple as alignment wouldn't it pull ALL the time, camber or straight road? Like i said in one of my previous post's only when road cambers not on straight road tracks perfectly straight on straight road.
I seem to be able to turn right without turning my steering wheel when road cambers (turning right only, not left). This does not happen when I'm turning left, only right. I am always fighting my steering to the left, not my right, when road CAMBERS. I am no expert on alignment or camber, but I know it's not alignment (IMO). Dont you think if it was alignment problem that honda dealership would of done it? After all I'm paying for it. I've been twice and asked them to do an alignment they keep telling me my car doesn't need it(nothing wrong with it according to them).
I'm pretty sure that I've read other ppl have done alignments on their euro's with no success.
