    Z3 E36 Z3 3.0i An Issue

    Good Evening, All first time poster here

    I have a rather simple question,

    So basically after making a sharpish left and or right turn my car will steadily try to drift in that direction.
    The work I have had done so far to alleviate this issue is

    Complete Overhaul to the front suspension Rack and pinion control arms tie-rods bushings etc
    a brand new set of tires Michelin Super sport pro
    and new struts and shocks (Which were shot when I first got the car
    It has had an alignment as well as balancing
    The vehicle has 74,000 miles on it excellent condition, and I cannot for the life of me find the problem and was hoping for some direction from the more experienced people located on these forums.

    Regards,

    You might have a good look at the bushings in the rear. If I was confident in everything that had been done in the front, that's where I would look next. I'm not a suspension expert though.

    Stubbornness is a virtue....

    Wild guess: the steering rack. If it is offering some resistance, that you can't feel when turning because of power-assist, then maybe it's resisting a return to the center. I'm not sure how you'd check this out without disassembly.
