Car swerves at times

[Muevelos]

Hello everyone, my situation, 2017 GT Premium. Base suspension and tires so far.

My car tends to pull to the right usually ( sometimes left ) on uneven roads. Was told i could use new tires( waiting till after winter ). Is this the issue? Tramlining? Also on highways at higher speeds, if there is a little wind, it seems I'm fighting the car and it can pull to the sides aswell.

Only mods have been visual so far. Order CB005/CB752 and CB006.

This feel makes me uneasy at times. Having the car pull off to the right if i loosen my grip seems a little scary. My ford guy said it's normal-_-.

Looking for what this really is and what mods to do and what to do first so i don't accidentally worsen something. Thank you.

get an alignment and new tires.

These are classic alignment symptoms. Sure, wheels could be misbalanced or a tire has a snapped cord, but you'd notice heavy vibration or physical damage. A proper alignment should be all that's required.

Also on bigheayiat higher speeds

I have no idea what you mean by that.

In addition to alignment (which should at least check for ball joint condition), your car may have a hub bearing issue.

Edited it sorry. I had an alignment done by Ford and they said everything was tip top shape. That was my first suspicion aswell.

Any accident history from the previous owner?

If you are fighting the car on the highway, I do not feel that is tramlining. When I first got the car and it got into grooves and said "hey, let's go this way" I was like WTF. Then I figured out the term tramlining. First car I ever had that did this, but these are meaty arse tires too.

Nope. Owner had the car for about 4k miles. The dealership used the car as some type of demo car for the other 4k miles. It's certified PO, warranty for the hell of it to.

Now just so you know and I am not challenging you by any means. A dealer could easily have crashed your car and not reported it. There is truly gray area when cars are repaired and reported. Have you looked under the car on a Rack Personally? If not you need to take the car to an independent car shop and get her on the lift.
