Good evening,

directional stability with my 2002 Arnage T (80' kms) is relatively poor. Even if driving on the Autobahn without any crosswind, I have to adjust the steering wheel continuously. Car suspension has been measured and adjusted recently.

Is this normal?

If no, where to look first?

Thanks in advance, Frank

I've only driven 2 later Arnarges both '07 and with both of them I recall not having to adjust the steering wheel much on straight roads.

My Red Label was always straight and true,even at speeds double the UK motorway limit.

Maybe get the geometry checked.Are the tyres wearing evenly?Suspension parts are very expensive and often neglected on these cars until they are in absolute dire need of replacement.

Why not try getting the wheels and tracking done with the wheels on the car.Shop around as dealers charge 4X the price of the specialist tyre shops who have the necessay equipment. My Continental R had a slight vibration at 100mph but this turned out to be a worn lower ball joint.
