Tal,

Give QV in Ascot a call on 01344-622011 both Mike & Phil are very knowledgeable chaps! - They should be able to point you in the right direction.

Errrrr, you are also from the UK?
Hope it wasn�t you posting about this last time! If so this was not such a great advice then...:-(

Con saluti cordialissimi,

P.S. Perhaps you thoroughly check the tire tread, tire pressure especially on the left side. If everything else is checked out it might really be the tires. If the pulling isn�t too hard wait till they are done. They don�t last that long anyway (A little bit over 10000km with my 348). Wouldn�t change the tires now if they are not done.

Tal,

That�s definitely not a "348 feature"! I drive my 348tb for over 1 and a half year now and nothing like that ever happened.
Although I know that this problem occured with a british FChat member several month ago. His 348ts was also pulling to the left.
Definitely search the archives and you will find the thread. Shoot the owner a mail and ask him how he solved the problem.
Guess he will post here soon anyway :-)
Discussion was extensive about this topic last time since lots of things can cause this pulling to the left!


Con saluti cordialissimi,
Jens Haller



P.S. A very warm welcome to Fchat by the way! :-)

I have a 1990 348 TS. Since I've had it I have had this problem where if you are on the motorway or A road, running at a constant 70-80 MPH and you accelerate hard the car steers to the left, if I then take my foot off the accelerator the car comes back in line.
I have just had a four wheel alignment carried out by a dealer who also checked steering, suspension, engine cradle, and chassis all is OK.
He has suggested changing tyres but could this realy be the problem, or is this one of those 348 features.
