Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My friend's 996 (2004 tip) has a strange thing that happens every time he drives it. On perfectly flat, smooth, high way speed road, one in a while, the car would just drift over 6-8 inches without any steering inputs. What can be the problem?

POST 2Original post

How many miles on the car? When was the last alignment? any comments on tie-rods or rear bearing? re-torque all the wheel bolts. check the tire pressure. I see you say flat, smooth highway. Windy day? :-) sometimes a quartering wind will move me around some. let use know what your friend finds. Luck to you. Lance
