mine pulls toward the front... :-)

 

Said with feeling Chris !

 

My CS 04 also pulled to the right on the freeway. Had it realigned twice and wheels rebalanced which lessed the pull to the right. There seems to be enough of us with the same issue.

 

I have a slight nibble on the wheel @ 145 mph but that's it. Dealer said it was probably my hands shaking.........

Mine goes straight when road is flat, but steering is sensitive so if road is banked, 'C' will tend to go with the banking. Tires can also affect tracking as I found when I purchased one of the first Lexus LS400's, where there were special tires for the right side, and for the left side. Car pulled to the right, had it aligned with no difference, and I wasn't alone. On the third set of tires, courtesy of Lexus, car ran straight. BTW, my CT was aligned at about 5K mi because of inside front tire wear; alignment spec's also changed from when mine was built.

 

Mudman -

Here's a copy of the Cayenne TSB 4495.

Thanks thats makes interesting reading

 

from the aforementioned TSB:
"The heavier the vehicle or the higher the road crown, the greater the tendency to drift left or right."

So, why is it that when driving vehicles heavier than the Cayenne (for example: Ford Excursions, Ford SuperDuties, GM Suburbans/Yukon XL, etc) on the same roads, none of these 'heavier' vehicles exhibit a "greater tendency to drift left or right"?

Easy you say, the Cayenne has 4 wheel independent suspension and the above cars have solid rear axles?

Incorrect, as Porsche's TSB implies that it is NOT the suspension type nor alignment, rather merely the weight of the vehicle and/or road crown height and that drifting/pulling is a "normal behavior".
Therefore, you are left to conclude, Porsche has specifically designed and produced a vehicle which is expected to follow road crown.

Sure, I'm OK with that.
