| I have 2007 lexus 400h and the vehicle drifts when it catches either a road crack when changing lanes or on certain roads where there is a small crown.the steering get tight on on correcting it drifts to the other side.steering also gives a tug or a wobble to when hitting certain cracks or bumps.the drift and tugs generally are to the right. dealer says everything looks good and blames in on tires.my michelin tires with treadwear 450 are almost worn at 25000 miles. i fear during snow this will be dangerous. | |||
