I noticed that when im driving, if i let go of the steering wheel it slowly will pull a bit to the right and the car will go in that direction. Instead of driving straight, the steering wheel will pull to the right a bit. About half an inch. Is this normal? Will this cause tire problems?
For GT 05

 

Alignment problems. Could also be bushings. And yes, this can indeed cause undue tyre wear problems.

 

Check tire pressure first on all 4 wheels
If its all ok, do an alignment

Ask the tech to check front end play to see any worn bushings or steering tie rod ends when he does the alignment

 

also ask tech to check upper inner bushes visually,they are the weakest link .

 

When I went for an alignment I ended replacing lower arms as upper already done. Tech tested play in arms by braking and having another tech spot any movement on wheels after stopping.

Car was spot on after new arms and alignment.

 

Seriously? My car has only 25K miles, I hope that this is not my case. Did you do it at bentley? How much was all that ?

 

25k is low mileage so maybe get alignment done first.

I had uppers done at dealer and lower by a shop. Shop charged me 2.5k for lowers vs dealer quote of 4.2k. Shop price included alignment but dealer wanted something silly like another 1k.

 

You can buy front lower phaeton arms for 120-150 aftermarket or even original from vw or audi a8, the Bentley suspensions are the same and the dealer is way overpriced , any audi or vw mechanic can work on it, it's identical to a6/a8 / phaeton

My original uppers had audi stamp on them
I paid 250 for 2 Arms
This car eats front suspension it's front heavy and puts a beating on the bushings


I'm doing poly bushings for the front uppers next time

 

Wow....certainly makes me rethink buying extended warranty at $4K per year.

Would this be something covered by warranty?

 

Wear and tear parts no chance!

Who does poly bushes?

 

Google or ebay a8 upper bushings
They make poly bushings even adjustable upper control arms
