    Hi guys i drive a 01 corolla saloon 1.4. Yesterday driving home it was windy i noticed when driving in a straight line the car would move left and right not a great deal but i would have to check it back into place, now i just put this down to being very windy. But today when i was driving it did the same thing and it was not windy at all. Has anyone driving a corolla experienced this problem? do you know what i am talking about?

    When's the last time you had a four wheel alignment done?

    It could be a multitude of things.
    Start by checking the tyres and pressures and tread depth.
    Are they all the same size? Don't laugh it can happen.
    Next check for worn steering componentry, Tie rods /Track rod ends/Balljoints.

    How would I check for worn steering components?

    This only happened after the new tyres and tracking?

    If so i'd be going back.

    I'd be checking wheel nuts as a priority.
