Too much liberty

Asked by John Gibney

MY WIFE owns a 2003 Subaru Liberty, which is a nice car. But when touring on freeways it is inclined to wander and requires frequent correction of the steering wheel. My own car is an EL Ford Falcon and the comparison between the two is quite remarkable.

THE Falcon had a reputation for wandering on the highway, which some people find disconcerting; Clearly you don't, so the Subaru's wanderlust must be pronounced. I assume you have checked the basics of wheel alignment and tyre pressure to make sure they aren't contributing to the problem. Try switching the tyres from side to side and see if the problem persists.
