2006 MS6 sport.....round 64000 km (40000 miles), really likes to wander all over the road. Sometimes I have to have both hands on the wheel to keep it going straight. It seems that any little rut/bump/groove/pebble on the road makes it wanna go either left or right.
This happens on both sets of tires (2 yo 225/45/18 blizzaks on stock rims, 2 yo 215/45/18 potenzas on MS3 wheels). When I was running the winters I had the car aligned and all 4 tires rebalanced, but no change in it wandering all over the place. The funny thing is when I had 17 inch Nokians on it for a couple days, I didn't notice this at all...
So I'm not sure if its a tire issue, or a suspension problem. I did a quick search on this forum but nothing came up. A google search pointed me to other forums, most of which said to do a realignment or get new tires. A Subaru Outback forum had info on maybe the tie rods needing replacement?
Any thoughts?
