has anyone felt their steering tug side to side on flat striaghts.
it's hardly noticable (sometime more than others) but i'm worried
it could get worse. i understand the steering on these cars are
electronic assisted. could this be a normal glitch? i used to own a
1973 Dodge (mitsubishi) Colt GT. it would go through bushings like
butter. when they started to fail the feeling was similar to what i
feel on my 3.

once i lowered mine and put on better tires (40 sidewall rather then 45) i notice it a little. i dont know where you live but the roads around here have ruts where most people drive so if you go over them it will pull a little. one nite while there was no traffic i tried driving on the left side of the road because it was pulling to the right, and once i was on the wrong side of the road it pulled to the left.
