Hi all,
I have a 2022 M440i coupe with about 5k miles on it. A couple weeks ago, I hit a pothole and threw it out of alignment. The steering wheel was tilted to the right and, if I held the car straight, it veered to the left. I also noticed that turns to the right felt loose and vague.
Since then, I had my local dealer do an alignment. Now the steering wheel is centered and it drives straight, but I'm still feeling some slight looseness on right turns. Basically, if I do a hard left turn, the steering feels precise with the normal about of resistance. On a hard right turn, the wheel feels loose and unpredictable. Also, when changing lanes on the highway, it seems like I need to move the wheel more to move right than left. It's not night-and-day, but I definitely notice it (and it's pretty bothersome). Already checked pressure - left and right are within 1 psi of each other.
I'm taking it back to the dealership tomorrow, but I want to make sure they know where to look. This dealership has a tendency to fix something 90-95% but not 100%. This issue might not be glaringly obvious on a short drive at low speeds, but I definitely feel it on higher-speed situations and windy roads. I'm worried they'll just check the alignment and give it back without checking everything.
What should I insist on them checking? Any ideas on what specifically might be causing the issue?
Thank you all!
Michael
Sounds like the alignment is still off. Do you still have the alignment sheet from when the repair was done?
