I have a 2017 Civic touring purchased new 4 months ago. I have driven it 8K km/ 5K miles so far. Just last week I started noticing the car pulling towards the right. Below is what has been done after I noticed the pull.
1) Checked tie rod myself, seems alright, nothing loose
2) Tire pressures are even
3) No 'play' in tire
4) Switched the fronts (left to right and vice versa)
5) FORCED the dealer to check alignment, which came out OK. However the dealer did not acknowledge that when the steering is level, the car moves to the right and he kept referring to all other variables like crowning etc.
I have checked rapid acceleration and braking which does not seem to have a sudden impact and also drove in nuetral just to see if this was something related to the engine/whatever (based on forum and youtube advices)
Now I am completely lost as to why this is happening. I have to keep applying a little pressure and keep the steering tilted slightly left (11 30 position most probably) to keep the car move in a straight line.
Any advice will be very welcome as well as advice on how to make the dealer acknowledge this and address the issue under warranty (if needed).
Thanks very much in advance!
