Steering wheel slowly turning right at low speeds
As I was driving today, I noticed my steering wheel would slowly turn to the right (clockwise) when I am at low speeds (under ~30ish). The car would of course also start pulling right. The only thing I've done to the suspension is install the E93 M3 sway bar, but I don't think that would affect the steering? I checked the air in the tires and they were all ok. Anyone know what could be the cause? Thanks.

I know what you mean about the road crown, but today I noticed it was different than normal. I did recently get an alignment and I saw that they listed my car as a 128i. Are the specs for alignment different between a 128 and 135?

I wish I could find a flat road to see if I need an alignment.
Good luck with the diagnosis. miiipilot

Did you have BMW do the alignment? Also, why did you get one, did you do something recently? A safe way to test is to drive on a 4 way highway and use the "fast"/left lane. If the road is crowned it will be to the left on the fast side and to the right on the slow side. If it still pulls right on the fast-left lane then you'll need a re-do. |

I was always under the impression that in North America at low speeds the alignment settings are suppose to bank right, so that if something happens and you become unconscious your car will go towards the curb or shoulder. I would still get it checked out.
