I'll try to be as specific as I can be .
I have a problem with my 98 M.Y.Turbo since the first 2000km.
The car just like that started to go left when having the steering wheel to center.The steering wheel comes a little bit right ,let say 5/60 clockwise,when driving to flat roads.But then at 100-150m the car goes right(if I leave the st.wheel free.)

I went to local Subaru Dealer here in Greece but they denied that the car had a problem.
We actually did about dozen checks on wheel alignment but it was ok.Also I checked the condition of the suspension. It was a 8% diference at the rear right wheel which I was told by the mechanics that was not serious.
Since now at 17000 km the problem still remains.And have checked also and agreed by some friends of mine.
PLEASE IF SOMEONE HAS AN IDEA ON WHAT TO CHECK ABOUT let me know cause I am despert with the road handling as it became with this.

ELIAS firstly i hope your not one of those well built good looking waiters that steals my girl friends when were on holiday,only joking.as a simple check which you can do yourself with a tape measure check the measure ment from the centre of the n/s/f wheel to the centre of the n/s//r wheel .
repeat this check on the off side of the car again centre to centre.,these should be exactly the same.

let me know how you get on peter connolly.

n/s/f and n/s/r refer to near side front and near side rear.

ie check the distance between the wheel centres on one side of the vehicle, then check them on the other side. If there is a difference (even a few mm ?), then this will make a difference to the car's handling
