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

Hey all, I had PSS9s installed, corner balanced, alignment, etc. I am noticing a slight drift to the right when driving. I checked my tire pressure (36f/44r) and it is fine. The alignment was fine before I put on the PSS9s.. Anyone know what the problem could be?

POST 2Original post

sounds like an alignment issue. who installed them for you?

POST 3Original post

I put a set of PSS9's on my car last week. I don't have that problem but it is a bit nervous on the track at turn in. Most likely an alingment/tire issue. Ran on a new set of street tires Played with the sway bars (GT3) and shock settings and it did improve. Final settings: Bars front/rear 1from full soft / 3 from full soft Shocks front / rear 3/1 Camber front / rear -1.5 / -2.0 Toe front almost neutral, rear slight toe in (1/16)

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I think it might be the tires (Continentals). I guess I will rotate the two front tires to see if it pulls the other way...that will tell me if it is indeed a tire issue. I was told that Continentals are infamous for this...

POST 5Original post

The suspension might take some time to settle and can affect your alignment. Take it to another shop to get it checked again.

POST 7Original post

besides the drifting, what are your intitial thoughts? my car is going in for PSS9s next friday

POST 8Original post

Damn Continentals...I have the same issue. Well, I HAD the same issue (drift right), until I swapped the fronts...and now it drifts left! Very annoying.

POST 10Original post

You're just not driving the car hard enough. Drive it hard enough and you can drift left or right

POST 11 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Really? I haven't tried this yet, but need to. Damn, I'd hate to have to buy new tires to correct this problem...I only have about 5K miles on them. Anyone know what it is about these tires that create the drift?

POST 12 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

So far, so good. Definitely good to get rid of that old stock US suspension, that's for sure. Less floatiness, stiffer ride, etc.

POST 13Original post

Poor workmanship is what causes it. It's called radial pull, and I read something like 1 of every 5-6 Continental tires develop it. Mine only had about 5K miles on them when I began to notice it. If you have the receipt, Continental will give you some if not all of the price back to apply toward a new tire. Problem is that by 5K miles, your other tire will most likely have significantly less tread than the new one. And it will then pull the other way. So basically you can either a) live with it, or b) spring for two front tires...with one of them comp'ed by Continental. I'm currently going with option a) for the time being...and will never buy Continentals again..

POST 14 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the info. I appreciate it. Do you ride the PSS 9s?

POST 15Original post

Droog114: did you notice the drift to the right b4 you got the pss9's installed?

POST 16Original post

I'm sorry, but if I read your posts correctly you haven't had the car aligned since you installed the PSS9s? Anytime you change suspension components you need to get the car realigned. You might wait a week or so to get any settling out of the way, but then it's straight to the alignment rack...

POST 17Original post

My x73 settled 1/4" after about a month, handling went to hell, re-aligned no problem now.
