Hi all
Not sure if anyone ever encounter this situation -
I was going up the slope of IMM car park. It was raining so the floor was wet.
When I reached the upper floor and turning right, I felt the steering suddenly jerk and veered to the right. Since there's no bump there, not sure why this happens, and most of the time only when the road is wet.
Also, the steering was no longer centered but more to the right (or to the left?? Can't really remember as it was many months ago). Brought the car back to C&C but technician said nothing wrong. And the only thing they did was to re-centered the steering.
Recently feels that the steering jerk happens more often and i think it's time I should get some capable workshop to check.
Any bros has any idea what should be checked and any workshop to recommend?
PS: Did a search on internet and found that our US Carens equivalent had the same problem. Got my Carens in 2009 and I don't see any bros here complaint about it so hopefully not affecting our model here.

I have not experience that before with my Carens.
Maybe you should check your tyres wear pattern. Is the wear still evenly distributed ?
If your steering wheel is off centre, then it is likely that your wheel alignment is out, more into the toe than the cambar and caster.
For Carens, only the toe can be adjusted, cambar and caster is factory predetermine and it is not adjustable. It need to be replaced......
I have driveshaft issue 2~3 years into drive.........turn got noise....that all.......

Thanks for the reply.
Will first try to rotate the tyres and see how it goes.
