Title: "Twitchy" Steering
Post by: chrisv on February 08, 2010, 11:44:54 AM

Hi,
I've noticed on my 2005 Jazz that in a straight line on dual carriageways or motorways I am having to continually correct the steering or in other words the straight line stability is not good, it also seems to "pull" me into corners, I thought tracking but this has been checked and found to be spot on (parallel), tyre wear on the newish front tyres is even. Is this a feature of the model or does anyone have any bright ideas? I've had the car about 4 months and it has always done this.
Chris.

See the below link....

I reported this fault last year and had several replies. My own car will be having a steering rack fitted in the next few weeks to try and rectify this fault. If you bought your car from a dealer it might be worth printing off the full thread and taking it into them.....it worked for me although mine is still under warranty until April this year.

Thanks DDS, as my car is 5 years old I don't expect any warranty joy, but as it's what you could call a "feature of the model" I'll live with it as it's only a minor annoyance on what is an excellent car in all other respects.
ps it steams up as well but I don't have aircon :(
Regards,
Chris
