hi i took my new zed into garage today to get tracking done,, 4 wheel alignment,,as car steered to left ,badly when i picked it up,, mechanic said the tracking was out and has straightned it but said that all four wheels are pointing straight but the car steers worse to the left than before,, he said something else is wrong not the tracking , but he couldnt pin point it,he suspects suspension or something bent at rear of car,,, any help would be apriciated!! cheers guys

:cry: :cry:

I've got the same problem mate. I did all the tracking and balancing. Steers to the left and wobbles slightly, well generally feels nasty to drive at times, especially when doing any speed. Does that sound the same?

yes exactly except for the wobbles,,, i hope there not next,, the strangest thing is the faster you go the less the wheel is pulled to left?? the slower its like some one is steering the car via remote,, all this of course is only if you let got of wheel

You checked the tyre pressure ?? as that car is a minter

Pressures do that for sure Chris as it happend to me...only 4psi difference but felt fooked.

 

Have you had your HICAS checked????

Sit in car....Switch ignition on....then quickly within 10 seconds turn the steering wheel left to right 5 times(leftx5-rightx5 alternatly) and then pump the brake pedal 5 times.

Your HICAS light will come on if sucessfull.

The rear wheels will twitch slightly when steering is dead straight ahead to let you know that your HICAS is lined up properly.

Just tried this diagnostic and is's quite impressive watching the rears move like that! The hicas light flashes 4 times short and 5 times long followed by 1 very long, any ideas what this indicates?
