    How many miles on the car? It's 10 years old, original wheel bearings? Your front suspension components may be all new, is the rear as well? RTABs and other bushings? Push up front could be the result of something off in the rear too.

    How much tread left on those front tires?

    I'll share a story from a friend with an M3 with staggered wheel/tire setup. He replaced just the rears and had odd traction control behavior, even though the fronts had plenty of tread. True the tires were different brands/models, but I think the lesson learned was, any traction differences could effect "handling." He ended up getting new fronts of the same make/model as the new rears and the problem was resolved.

    I run a square setup, but even when I didn't, I always replaced all four tires at the same time, even if I was using the same make/model tire.

    Looking forward to hearing what you find out today.

    ^ Car is just now hitting 100,000. I replaced the RTAB's and diff bushings less than 10,000 miles ago. I do need to get new shocks for the rear but I dont think thats the cause. One of the main things I suspected was the new rubber in the back, especially since that appears to be when the problem started. But the fact that the problem occurs even when I'm travelling in a straight line, (at least trying to) and also comes and goes seemingly at random, has me baffled.

    Hmmmm. I wonder if it could be a bad steering angle sensor.

    You'll need to call Tom -- his brother. It really depends on how full their schedule is.

    Tell Tom that I'm referring you. You're a member of the ZHP Mafia.
