I have about 2000 miles on my TSX, and one thing has been bothering me, and I’m not sure it normal or maybe I need a Wheel Alignment.

I think car has a very “un-centered” feel, not sure how to descript it but….
The car tends to follow any crown in the road or any groves making staying in a straight line very tiresome. You are always tugging at the wheel slightly off-center and if you let the wheel go, it want to got to the left or right depending on the road. And even if the road is very flat, any touch of the wheel sends it ether direction, not what I think should happen, with a good on-center steering.

I talked to someone with a BMW and they said that is normal for a car with that that type of suspension, his BMW is the same way following any small crown/angle in the road or road imperfection.

I hope he is wrong and it’s just an Alignment issues maybe with the Wheel (Camber, Caster or Toe Issue)

Anyone else have this issue or thoughts

Thanks

 

I'll save you the money. It's normal for all cars to follow the crown of the road. Some cars do it more than others. Tight steering, firm suspension, and low profile tires all exaggerate the problem and our TSX has all 3. You probably won't notice it in a shitty land yacht from GM but that's because you can't feel anything in those cars.

"For only street-driven cars, getting them aligned with negative camber and toe settings within the factory's specifications is an important first step"

It could be that this is out of spec. I think it worth asking the dealer to check.
