My car doesnt go straight. It either go right or left. If it goes right and i control the steering wheel, if goes straight for sometime and ***** to the left.. same when i control the streeing wheel when it goes left. I need to control the steering wheel more often than i uesd to be. It noticed this after i changed all my tires. I double checked the wheel balancing and tire rotation. The guy said its all fine. But he is also feeling the same when he drives the car but he is 100% that this is not because of the tires or balancing. I am really annoyed when driving the car. I need to be more careful and cannot look for a coffee shop on the road side assuming the car will drive straight. Can someone please let me know what could cause this? thanks in advance.

its Audi A4 2003 Quatro with 65K miles on it..

 

Have someone who knows what they are doing check your suspension thoroughly. Check your air pressure all around. Another explanation is that the new tires are grabbing the wide grooves left in the road by trucks and pulling to that side. Or, because of the new tires, maybe you are just noticing something that was always there.

 

Agreed. This could be serious and could threaten your and others safety if you have a major issue. Road capping can make many nervous (roads are curved, not flat to allow water to flow off from the center) some roads are capped at a fairly steep angle and give the feeling of heavy pull, especially with newer, properly inflated tires.
Pulling to the left or changing sides makes me think it has a issue, suspension and steering components, wheel bearings etc. It is not too difficult to check for major play with some simple driveway tests, but it sounds like you should get it looked at right away (by someone you trust) if you are not familiar with how all of the systems work.
Good luck and don't drive too close to me!

 

thanks guys. I am taking this to Audi service center but not sure how much they are going to rip off but for sure this is not a problem before changing the tires....
