I am having some steering/alignment issues. My vette pulls to the right on normal driving conditions. I can be on a road, parking lot or highway... let go of the steering wheel and my car wanders to the right immediately. So instead of driving straight down the road, i constantly have to drive in arcs going to the left to correct this. Therefore, it is a battle to keep my car straight.
My steering wheel seems to "settle" at a spot that is not perfectly horizontal. The wheel tends to settle with a slight angle ~ 5 degrees to the right.
Also seems to me to have a dead spot in the middle. There is some play when driving straight, but the turning seems to be crisp.
These are newer Kumho tires from last year. I've had them re-"aligned" by my local mechanic who put them on and the toe was corrected, and the steering wheel is much better, but its still not 100%. I've been "told" the crown of the road a few times... but on the highway? parking lots?
My next stop is to a REAL tire and alignment place, but can anyone advise if i have deeper steering problems. I have +140K milage and most of those are hard NJ miles.
