Steering wander

Featured Replies

Purchased a 2017 Kuga Ecoboost AWD auto in november. I feel that the steering wanders and follows any ridge in te road. Is this common to Kugas or is there a fault. Done 27000 miles and had recent MOT



A lot depends on the wheel/tyre combination, what size are your tyres?

I was going to suggest checking your tyres too.  If you have larger wheels than standard, so that might be 19” instead of 18”, then depending on the tyre and it’s wear, they may tram line, like you are suggesting. I’ve had this issue on several cars I’ve owned and it’s generally when you get to about 4mm or even 3mm of tread, that they seem more prone to this ‘tram lining’.
