[... yes, that bit that you snipped ...] The toe was off, hence the wander to the side of the road ... now, THE CAR DRIVES IN A STRAIGHT LINE. But, "the car does drift to the the right on moderately crowned roads" ... yes, it will - heavily cambered roads, at least in the UK, come with a sign-post warning about such behaviour. This is normal ... "but not on the flat freeway like before" ... thus disproving the bizarre theory that diving across 2, or more, lanes of traffic from the fast lane into the soft verge when the driver falls asleep is normal behaviour for a car. So, that in mind, my disabled, lesbian, black, HIV+, Muslim, pregnant, elderly and infirm pedestrian friends are now safe :) Hmmmm, Paul 1985 900i 16V 1989 900 Turbo S http://pjgh.go.dyndns.org/saab/index.html
