This occurs when the centre of the wheel/tyre has been changed and usually moved outwards. From the factory most cars are designed with the centre of the wheel to be at the same spot as where the kink pin inclination angle meets the ground. McPherson strust do not have king pins. Only old junkers have them but is still has the geometry built into the strut. You cannot change the kingpin angle easily so the best way to fix it is change your rims. Probably not an option or live with it. Sometines increasing the castor can help the problem but that is usually because more castor means more effort is required to move the steering. I dont know if i make any sense but i hope i helped explain Brad [Report message to a moderator]
