Karter - I agree with bgoose in that toe is probably involved. Although static toe is the easiest thing to check and correct, in the current crop of cars there are other things to check.

Make sure they give the EPAS a very close inspection, as some of the compensations that can be built into it can affect the car's directional stability. Think "drift-pull" or possibly "active nibble control".

On edit, perhaps they should also look at the AdvanceTrack and its steering wheel position sensor.

Sounds like toe out to me. I run 275-35/20 on the front and don't have any wondering feeling. Never had before and during all the suspension changes I have made. Just keep the toe 0 to -1/8" and it should wonder.

Caster is for steering return to center.
Toe is the wandering problem.
Slightly in and it will track straight.
Lowered stangs will exhibit toe neutral or
out if you dont get it reset to slightly in
after lowering springs are installed...

Toe can be set with two boards and a two tape measure rs...



ps static toe and rolling toe are two different things....
