WorldFun Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 so i drive slowly say below 60kmh and everything is mighty. then down on the chonburi motorway cruising 120kmh++ and suddenly the car got a way of its own wandering all over the place making the steering quite a challenge? I suppose the car might need alignment, new tyres or whatnot but its also kinda fun lol as at least the cornering is superb on such suspensions or perhaps this car just need straight autobahns from the homeland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavanami Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 have them check the "idler arm" on the front suspension as if it is worn out, the car will "drift"...cheap to fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorldFun Posted April 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 thanks for the tip mate...will keep it in mind 'drifting' is likely what im experiencing ... do pickups drift too occasionally at speed? for sure the samut sakhon highway is prone to it along with the chonburi rd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavanami Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 I think all vehicles have the idler arm, so when worn, they tend to drift, meaning you are constantly adjusting the steering. Some of the roads in LOS are badly worn with all the heavy truck traffic. On Rama 2, they were ruts in the far left lane from the truck traffic. My little pick-em-up would try to track in the ruts but the span of the wheels was different and it was impossible to drive in that lane at speeds above 60 Km! They finally resurfaced the road and now it is OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
