Car feels uneasy

[FlameR]

I've noticed ever since my flat tyre on the motorway that my car feels very "uneasy" to drive. Sometimes I feel like I'm fighting with the steering wheel to keep my car from veering off the road, especially when changing lanes and driving over the cat-eyes!

I'm changing my wheels in the next few weeks, maybe this will help.

any advice or suggestions of what could be causing this?

Hm, maybe the camber is way out on one of the wheels.

 

[FlameR]

Is that angle of the wheel against the axel? It doesn't look obvious, but I might have messed up the rear drivers wheel when I got the flat tyre!!

//----|| <-wheels on an axle

This an example of neutral camber on the right and negative camber on the left. That setup would pull to the left I think.

yeah get it tracked to make sure the wheels are aligned properly, ive just had mine done and my car feels diff. to drive

 

[FlameR]

Cheers chaps!! Will do straight away. Can normal back street garages sort alignment or do I have to go to somewhere specific like ATS?

 

[MrMark]

ATS will do, i dont think you even need appointments with them.

have you checked the air pressure in the new tire sometimes garages can over inflate which could lead to a slight floaty feel.
