Q7 (UK) alignment and steering response
Hi,
I have recently purchased a used 2007 Audi Q7. The steering wheel was off center on a straight level road. I went for a four wheel laser alignment and there were a number of things out of the manufacturer's tolerance. I have the after and before alignment settings sheets, which I will post when I get back home. Anyhow corrections were made as required.
Now after all the settings right, steering is center when going straight on a level road. But when I am on a straight non-level road (inclining few degrees left or right), I have steer few degrees opposite to the direction of the road inclination to keep the car straight. Is this normal? Also on very low speeds steering tends to go slight degrees left of the center as its normal resting position; if I dont hold it. Again is this just due to the position of the car on the road?
I must mention that tyres are part worn and have quite similar wear patterns. I got them balanced as well. Tyre pressures are fine too. Since the car also eshibits this behaviour on low speeds (5-10mph), I assume nothing to do with the tyres.
Thanks in advance.
