Question

when driving down a bumpy or country road the steering will often veer off either way, this is normally when you hit a bump but it can do it along straights as well, you have to hold the wheel with both hands to keep it straight, looking through the history it had a steering angle sensor reset in 2005? wondered if this may be the problem? there are no lights on the dash and the DSC is working fine. Cheers Rob.

Hi,

 

first of all you need to check your tyre treads and pressures. Replacing the steering angle sensor on this vehilce will not affect the tracking. I would recommend having a full wheel allignment carried out.
