Still twitching to left...
Hi All,
WRX STI Spec D 07/07 25k miles.
This problem is worrying me now, and I'm after suggestions as to what the fault is.
Ok, steering in a straight line, any road, come off the gas, and the front wheels twitch and pull the front of the car to the left.
Same scenario when I dip the clutch.
I can counter steer it, but thats not ideal of course.
Recently had 4 new tyres (not wearing oddly) and 4 wheel alignment.
I had the exact same problem before new tyres and 4 wheel alignment by the way.
It's the same if I come off the gas round a tight corner - which ever direction I'm steering, the car wants to tuck over that way.
It feels almost dangerous to drive.
It's not enough to pull me into another lane, but it's really noticable. It's only happening momentarily, and then the front wheels seem to centre themselves again.

I remember you saying about camber bolts before. And it's something I will be asking my dealer about.

This is why I'm still wearing that dress and can't really give the car the life it needs / deserves!

I don't know the exact science behind it but from what I understand when you let off the gas or dip the clutch the wheel ever so slightly moves back and the worn bush causing it to pull to the side. My escort was that bad it would pull to the right under hard acceleration then shoot off to the left when off the accelerator. This was a major handfull when giving it beans up the gears.
