[QUOTE="Torneo, post: 650692, member: 13353"] Thought i shall give an update after paying Speedline a visit for an alignment issue. Issue: With steering wheel straight, the car steer left. In order to keep the car on a straight line, i have to steer the wheel to slight right. Make sense? Results after sending to Speedline: 1. Did alignment and balancing. Washed my rims very nicely. Steering is now straight and the car goes straight. 2. When i remove both hands from steering wheel, the car swerve to the left! About 1 lane in about 4 seconds going at 80km/h. 3. iDrive error - driving brake control, flat tire monitor, ABS, start assistance inactive. :( Obviously I wasn't quite happy and sent it back there again to rectify the steering issue. I didn't quite bother with the iDrive error because i don't think it's related but i did read on forums that it could be the steering angle sensor. 2nd trip back to Speedline: 1. Was informed that the alignment was perfect. Was advised that i have a "sensitive" tire and they will swap my left n right tyre. I'm on RFT stock on 18" Msport rims. 2. After swapping, the steering is now worst. Keeping the steering straight will have the car swerving right. In order to have the car go straight line, i have to keep the steering slightly towards the left. Completely opposite of the original problem! 3. Called Speedline and told him of the current problem. Was advised again that i have sensitive tires. Only way to fix it is to change tyres? wtf???? 4. Was advised they are not free now, come back 2 days later. I told him i'll be travelling n will be back a few weeks later. My plans; 1. Send car to AB for the iDrive issue. Ask if the error caused the steering issue or the other way round. 2. Make sure the error is fixed and if alignment is still an issue, go back to Speedline and get them to do something. I don't believe i have a sensitive tire but i can't argue with a tire expert without facts. I am not completely satisfied with the service from Speedline but I will hold my judgment only after AB fix the iDrive error messages. Perhaps i should have given MPS Auto a try instead...? :) Anyone have similar experience with the problem? Please share! [/QUOTE]
