Thread: Puma Steering Wanders Right Hand Bends

I had the vehilce serviced before I went away and asked them to check bushes etc in the front end and they said all OK.

Any advice as to the reason would be appreciated

It's because Tassie is at the bottom of the world - RH turns go against the earths orbit, so its more accentuated. Like water down the plug hole.
👍

Check that your tyre pressures are even. check that tread ware is even, especially on the front left. I just put new tyres on mine and all the vagaries are gone. A wheel alignment could be all that's needed.

New tyres and pressures are even so I am not sure this is the issue.

Thanks

Now it's time to get underneath and check all the steering components. If nothing is bent or loose, you might have a steering box problem. Hope not and unlikely I would think.
