WTF just happened - car had mind of its own!!
WTF just happened - car had mind of its own!!
A few minutes later I came off down a slip road to a set of red lights. Again the steering felt like it wanted to go left. So I let go of the wheel, and to my amazement, the steering wheel turned its self a whole 45 degrees to the left on its own!!!
As I went to straighten it up again it felt kind of light - almost like me correcting the angle of the steering wheel wasn't actually doing anything to the wheels on the road.
Down a quiet road I did a 40-0mph stop with my hands off the wheel and the car did not pull to one side at all, nor did the steering wheel move.
I only had full alignment done about a month ago too.
Any ideas?
Coming away from a mates house this evening, I joined the dual carriage way as normal and found the IS wanting to pull to the left. I assumed this was just down to the tracks on the road (which i was trying to keep out of as they were water logged), but thought nothing more.

May be a silly question, but is the steering wheel directly physically connected to the wheels or is there lots of electrical gadgetry in between?
I did have a quick look at the wheels before putting it in the garage, but tbh I was more checking for rim damage. I'll check pressures tonight.
