S6 alignment
I've had our 1995.5 S6 wagon in for alignment twice to address "pulling"
under certain conditions, but haven't gotten a satisfactory setting yet.
I notice it the most on rutted (from studs/semi's) freeway lanes.
Changing lanes is sort of like crossing the wake when water skiing (bear
with the poor analogy). There's resistance to changing at first, then
the car sort of shoots out of the ruts and into the next lane. I find
that I'm fighting the car more than I think I should be under the
circumstances.
The alignment shop printout shows that it's within spec. The tires are
Toyo Z1's (the same thing happened with the original Dunlops). The
wheels are the stock Avus 6 spoke. There doesn't seem to be any slop in
the steering rack or tie rods.
I've been thinking that this is a front toe issue, but now I'm wondering
if it might be caster.
Any thoughts appreciated.
regards,
Jeff
