alignment problem on new car

**antikryst** · April 26th, 2011 07:52 PM

i have a ford fiesta... 2.5k km odo.

if the steering wheel is straight... may konting kabig to the left. to go straight... the steering should be about 3-4 degrees to the right.

alignment problem ba to? baka nalubak.

tire pressure is ok. didnt modify anything. stock mags/tires and all. di daw kasama sa warranty alignment and theres a 900 consultation fee (?) sa casa. so im thinking of bringing it sa goodyear servitek.

any ideas?

Wheel alignment nga yan IMO sir. Servitek na nga lang. Pero ang bulis naman niyang nag-mis aligned. Yung Avanza ko dati at advie, parang 3 years bago nagpa-align.

feeling ko nalubak. the car i replaced parang once every 5 years lang pa align. it was a lancer glxi... 18 years before i replaced it haha.

Ganyan din yung jazz ko. Nung bago pa lang yun pag diretso ang manibela pumupunta sa kaliwa. wala akong alam sa oto non kaya hinayaan ko na lang. pwede mo ibalik siguro sa casa yan sa PMS mo.

the problem is in the clocking of the steering wheel. the steering angles might be correct but the over the center adjustment is off. but then again it is a ford. have the tie rods adjusted to the 12'oclock steering wheel while the front tires are straight ahead. this should be taken care of by the dealership and it usually takes less than 20 minutes to reclock the steering wheel

do you think its more of a clocking than alignment? kasi if its clocking i can live with it for now. just worried ill ruin my semi new tires this early due to alignment problems.

kung clocking lang i can wait for my next PMS (6 months) which is about 3 months away.

is there a way to check if its just clocking or alignment?

I don't think alignment yan sir. Mashado maaga for it. Try rotating the wheels. :D pag palitin mo lang yung left and right front tyre. pag may kabig pa rin, try rotating the rear and front tyres.

Any update on this Boss? My cousin's fiesta is experiencing the same issue. He asked me to test it and I have to constantly hold on the steering while driving kasi may slight "kabig" on the left... Di kaya factory defect siya?
