I've got a '96 Honda Civc HX. (Manual trans)


A few days ago I made a short trip down the interstate and noticed my car was acting pretty funny. Most of its miles are highway miles, so I'm very use to what it normally feels like at highway speeds.


But it just didn't feel right.
Normally, if I let go of the wheel it'll still run completely straight, but now it turns hard right. So to go straight, I have to hold the wheel a few degrees to the left, not a ton, but still more than normally.


Also, if I am going very very slow, think pushing the car on a flat surface slow, every time the tires get to a certain point the wheel turns to the right a notch. One revolution later it does the same thing, a notch to the right. This of course happens regardless of speed, it's just easiest to notice going at a crawl.


So what say you?


Brake problem? Pads/rotors? Alignment? Tie Rods?


Any help would greatly be appreciated.

 

first things first...check your tire presure. make sure they are all normal.
then check your tires to make sure non of them are wearing down irregularly

 

Should have mentioned that in the OP.

That was my first reaction, stopped at the next exit on the interstate.

All tires at approx 40psi. No unusual wear either.

 

Sounds like a bad tire (not round). Inspect the tires for bulges in the sidewall both on the outside and the inside. Substitute the spare for one of the front tires and do the rolling slow on level ground test again. If it still does it try the other tire.

 

yea i want to say its the tire too
