I took my car outta hibernation today for a quick boot. I noticed that it was leaning towards the right a little bit and to turn right it was a little hard.
when i turn left it was easy and smooth, but right turns a little more force had to be applied. i pumped my tires, but still the same problem (i didnt check the exact pressure of them)
can anyone help me out? possible problems?

wheels ...and tire ...maybe a wheel is bent...or a tire is really defective...one of your tires may be messed up and/or your alignment is shot ....causing one or both tires to steer the wheel to the left or right more than usual.......if its just steering wrong....but not shaking or having any other problems...just take it to a tire shop and have your rims/tires checked and maybe get an aligment... http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

thanks for your advice.
I thought it would be an alignment problem...
how much does this cost for a 96 gti vr6??

well...because it was hard turning to the right...
do you think it has anything to do with the power steering fluid??
the car has been sitting in the garage for the past 2 months, and i just took it out tonight for a quick spin 'round the block!

2 months???? without being warmed up at all??? ...check your oil...check all your fluids.... take it to a tire shop ...make sure you have no flat spots on the tires.......just make sure that all the fluids and everything is fine.... then take it somwhere to get the alignment and the tires checked....you will be fine from there http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

hahaha...no way would I ever let my car jus sit there.
I turn it on every other day for around 10 minutes to warm up.
Okay one last question....if it was the power steering fluid, then what would I have to do? and how would I know it is the fluid that is the problem?

p.s. as you can tell, im too paranoid about my car

I would take the tire problems into effect. But drive the car for a week after you check all your fluids. If the problem persists, take it to a dealer and have them inspect the steering rack and alignment. Yes I do support VW dealership service. After all........I work there.

my opinion dont take it the "dealership" take it to a tuner or certified TIRE shop ... where they specialize on tires and such...that has been my experience through the years ...
