3308640 - H01 VEHICLE DRIFT

Whilst driving in a straight line, the vehicle tends to drift towards the right and/or the left.If necessary, carry out a test on a straight, flat road with no cambers.Check the effective deviation from the trajectory by, very carefully, loosening your grip on the steering wheel
