Question

Last few weeks when driving, it feels as if i have to keep correcting the steering wheel. Sometines it feels as though its pulling to the left, sometimes the right. Any ideas?

I had a coming together with a roundabout not so long ago where i needed a new wishbone etc (£1200 worth of damage). Do you think theres a chance i've bent the subframe? Subaru, who did the repairs, would of checked that wouldn't they?

Common problem - "tramlining"

Nearly disappeared by changing from crap OEM Potenzas to Pirellis and getting the Prodrive geometry settings done on my MY01 WRX.

I would have thought it more likely that the tracking is out. Get it checked by someone who truly knows how to do it...

Edited to say - actually, thinking about it, also get the suspension struts checked to make sure you do not have a bent damper rod. This is *very* common in Imprezas after a sideways wheel impact with something like a kerb.
