My new 06 EX Coupe drifting to the right?

HokemBokem · 06-26-2006, 08:27 PM

My new 06 EX has the problem where it drifts to the right. Ive read something about this on this forum before and I need a good answer to get this fixed. Everything on this car is flawless and it really bugs me when my car doesent drive straight.

I have this issue to now that I put my new wheels on. I know its not my alignment because it didn't do it before the wheels. My guess is that its radial pull. My car has been sensitive to road flaws since installation. I would check your air pressure and make sure its at 32psi. If it becomes a problem you can always have a dealership check it out.

I had to get a 4-wheel alignment for this very problem. They will want to do a tire cross rotation first. My specs were way off from the factory and disappointing for a new car.

I'm sure this contributes to the drifting a little bit.

yea i had the same thing happen to me, but the car was drifting to the left, and the alignment was way off. I just took it to honda and they fixed the alignment and its fine now. Take it back to the dealership and see if they will fix it under warrenty.

radiocontrolhead · 06-30-2006, 12:33 PM

then i guess it's not teh road.

Finally someone else.

My ex drifted to the right. Alignment, camber, toe-in was fine. Try cross-rotating the front two tires (if the tire tread is non-directional) to see if it will stop pulling. For some reason this worked with my car.

I have directional tread so I might try to rotate to the back instead if its still a problem. But I have noticed the past couple of days it hasent been doing it

. Dunno, maybe the tires just had to break in, seems fine now...

This happens on so many 8th gens [including mine] that I think it's got to be torque steer. It would be interesting to compare an R18 with an Si. It should be stronger on the more powerful car, but the limited-slip diff may help.

maybe road crown?
