I noticed the other week that I seemed to be having to steer right to stay in a straight line. Not a lot but enough that it was obvious to me.

It was very windy that week and mostly cross winds for me so I left it just in case it was just a strong cross wind that was baking the car head left.

Wind died down but I still feel the car is tracking left.

Took it to the local ATS and they said the tracking was spot on.

Checked pressure to make sure it's not that, all fine to within a pound or two of each other.

Is it just the camber of the roads and I'm only just noticing it or could it be something else?

There is no noticeable unusual wear on the tyres.

Bushes perhaps as these would only show when the car is under load (moving) and not on a static tracking system as used by many places.

I am currently running the fronts on Dunlops and notice it tracks left more....with the camber of the road.

Previous tyres, now on the back, didn't do this when on the front.

I have noticed this with certain tyres on another car before too....

Did they check that each end was at right angles to the car (ie checked all 4 wheels at once) ? It is possible for each end to be "right" in iteself, but for the front axle to be at an angle to the rear axle, so you have to constantly steer to drive in a straight line.

I've read good reports here of the work done by Wheels In Motion (and I'm sure there are other good places around).

It was just a quick standard front wheel check.

I'm just not sure if it's the car following the camber. It's probably 2-3deg of steering no more.

They car has Avon Azaros I got from my Father-in-law's A3 before he handed it back.

It brakes true so I'm just wondering if it's just me suddenly noticing something which is in fact normal. I'm a little bit OCD with things being square and aligned.

I've just bought a new house so I'd rather not get any work done unless it's really required. I was concerned that the car was going to start to chew through tyres rather than a safety concern.

The power steering is supposed to compensate for camber and cross winds to a certain degree if it notices you're holding the wheel continuously away from the straight ahead position, so possibly this could be at fault or it could be a lot worse but is being partially covered by the power steering system. I'd still say it's more likely to be tracking, but pretty much every car will drift down a sideslope if you let the steering find its own way.

Ahh if the tyres came off another car they might have a slight wear pattern from that car where the tracking was slightly off.
