Hi there
Am new to the forum and own a unmodified 07 Type S GT
Love my car and the added kit however have a consistent bug bear that I am unsure what to do next with
I find my car doesn't feel quite planted on the road - something I have noticed worsen gradually. I have had two wheel alignments and tyres upfront are Avon ZV7s which are fairly new.
When driving I notice the steering is noticeably heavier (or firmer) steering right than left. I also notice this slightly turning the wheel from lock to lock while stationary. When steering left the steering feels much looser, with little self centering and sometimes feels as if the car is going to over-steer. Quite a horrible feeling on faster country lanes and makes for a nervous drive sometimes. I know 8th gen civics have light steering but I find my friends 1.8SE steering feels a lot more evenly weighted compared to mine.
I have had the suspension and steering components inspected with no faults found.
There are also no noticeable noises from the steering or rack etc. I am aware that you can fit aftermarket rear shims and camber adjuster bolts for this gen civic but not sure if that sounds like it rectify this behaviour if there is possible underlying issue.
