Odd steering behaviour/feeling

[r4nd0m]

hi,

I have my Cayenne (08) for a few days now and it feels odd sometimes which is difficult to explain.

If I do like 70mph and the steering wheel is dead on straight and I give a tiny input to correct, it feels like there is a "slip" and the steering wheel moves a bit further than I would expect it ... interestingly this doesnt happen all the time just occasionally but more often while steering to the right than the left. I dont know if its the power steering kicking in or something about to go bad so I thought I try asking this knowledgeable community ...

its a 08, V6 model, with 20" .. any ideas?

cheers

Check right side control arm bushings. Mine were bad and on both sides and it gave me a "loose" feeling when steering. Also I had a knock when braking but that was because mine were toast.

thanks mate I'll have them checked ...anything else I should look for?

While you are up on the rack I would have a look at the power steering and check fluids as well.

hm, all checked - all good - bushings were new even - so I disabled the PSM temporarily to see if that has an impact - it did - interestingly though after re-enabling it - the issue is still gone ... wonder what this could be ...
