Hello,
I would like to get some of your experineces and advices in my kind of
problem. I have a new Kia ceed SW 2013, 1,6 diesel. I had problem with
some wierd knockin sound from the front of the vehicle. My service
firstly checked an manage to change stabilizator bearing on front left
and changed the rubber seals. The knocking sounds remained. Then they
changed my EPS system because the thoguht there were the problem. But in
the end they found out it were loosen screws from the dashboard
carrier!? I think this is a huge factory failure and should be
considered with caution from Kia side. But I don`t think my sevice took
it seriously.
But my true question is about something else, maybe connected to my
previous problem. My steering wheel is off centered for a few degrees.
It is strange to drive on a highway in a straight line and have steering
wheel turned left for 5-10 degrees (driving on right side - Eastern
Europe). I took it to my service to have steering wheel alignment and
wheels alignment. But the problem remains. I suspect the car is camber
sensitive because if the road is crowned to the other side then the
steering wheel is aligned. But I still think this is a problem and
because I mostly drive on highways driving this kind isn`t a pleasure.
Is this kind of a problem a common problem with Kia ceed and I should
let it go or should I be persistant and go back to the service?
Please give your opinion. Every of your post is appreciated and welcome.
Also I googled this out and don`t know what to think:
