So here's my problem.. when I drive on the freeway my car tend to go left a bit and when I make a left turn it doesn't return to the centered position. It would just stay left. Should I take it to the dealer? My car is a 2010'. you guys think the dealer will charge me if they don't find the problem?

 

Welcome to owning a 2 IS. It's just how it is. I've had 3 2IS's and all are the same.

 

What? So if you're parked with wheels pointed perfectly straight ahead your steering wheel will not be at a perfect 12 o'clock position?

 

I see............

 

What? Did you even read the post?

 

I've just gotten used to having to return it to center myself instead of letting it slide through my hands. I had an Evo before this and it didn't the same thing I didn't even think twice.

 

Sounds like an aligment issue to me.

 

Yep, and the thread title too : "steering wheel doesn't return to center position". OP didn't hardly detail to the extent his issues were...whether it be an alignment issue or a steering rack issue. Perhaps he has an aftermaket steering wheel that he incorrectly installed, thus causing the "centering" issue. Man, just trying to internet-diagonis a problem...think outside the box.

seems like the ls460 is having a similar problem. Interesting..

Edited- My alignment is fine. Been to like 5 shops in the past 3 months. They all said is fine.

 

So it could be a electronic/electric steering rack issue...hmmmmm, who would of thought.

 

Hahaha. I'm gonna do some more driving test to know for sure. Will keep y'all posted

 

While you had those alignments done did you explain the issue you were having with the car to them? Did they advise you on anything you should look for?

 

Yes. So I did some more test driving U-turns and turns. My final conclusion is.. the car is fine. Is just doesn't come back with more force as I've come accustomed to. This is my first Electronic Power Steering System(EPS) btw. So that may be why I'm questioning it. I'm just gonna leave it at that

 

The electric PS does have a lighter rack feel to it when compared to a hydro rack. Hopefully the car is fine...GL!

 

I now think my tires are defective(hankook evo v12) cause all the veering to the left all started when I got the hankooks. After been to 5 different alignment shops.. iono what else it could be. =/
