Army driving, left, right, left, right

[markc]

Does anyone else's ED30 / GTI wander around badly at speeds over 50mph ?, obviously this is mainly motorway driving.  I'm constantly correcting the car as its going left ot right without any steering  input and on nice flat sections (not rutted up inside lanes).
Last night was as bad as its been, windy as hell too, and buffeting my car around made the issue 10x worse.  Bloody dangerous infact.
Tyres are Bridgestone RE050A 225 40 18 (dealer fitted) 3-4mm on em I'd guess.

try getting a 4 wheel alinement done, and making sure your tyres are correctly inflated

Tyre pressures are fine mate.  Might have to take it to VW 

[gti265]

it might be worth going to your local tyre/alignment shop first and saying the symptoms to them, see if they have any surgestions, n if not ring/take it to vw

I'm taking it to VW Hyde where I bought it.  The Tech guy said he would take a look tomorrow     If it needs allignment I'm sure they will do it for moi

I had this on another car - felt like driving in a cross wind. Get the geometry checked rather than a basic wheel alignment.
