Tracking down the road

[Livnpaintball2]

Ok, my GT doesn't track that great, having to make corrections into the steering wheel to keep it straight. I currently have a 2017 eco boost for a rental and it does the same thing. Drove it 300 miles today and it was a constant correction! So is ford putting some crappy alignment numbers in or is the suspension bushings that weak?

bigger wheels. they pull wherever the road makes them

Wide tires and shitty roads. I deal with it constantly out here in the boonies. It's ridiculous because we get insane amounts of semi-trailer traffic and rarely - if ever - do the roads get resurfaced. I kid you not, there are still roads in my area with WHITE center lines. Do a Google search on that to learn when the center line was changed to yellow. That's how old some roads around here are.

Yeah, tramlining. But l must say my wider 285/35-19 BFG g-Force COMP-2 A/S's track similar to my stock 255/40's and they did quite well actually.

Most any width over 235-245 you'll start to notice it on old roads.

My corvette, evo, bmw, GT500,camaro, didn't act up as much as this does. I'm going to add braces and tweak the alignment.

Try an alignment... My GT was the same as you describe but was a different car after an alignment..

I experienced kind of the same thing.. it got better by putting the steering in sport tho. In normal and comfort the steering is so light that I find it difficult to track straight.

Likewise, the car felt really sketchy at high speed (like 25mph ) with the steering in normal.. in sport, it feels way more planted/confidence inspiring.

They say the steeda g track brace helps with this!
