Steering drift
My friend's 996 (2004 tip) has a strange thing that happens every time he drives it. On perfectly flat, smooth, high way speed road, one in a while, the car would just drift over 6-8 inches without any steering inputs.
What can be the problem?

How many miles on the car?
When was the last alignment? any comments on tie-rods or rear bearing? re-torque all the wheel bolts. check the tire pressure. I see you say flat, smooth highway. Windy day? :-) sometimes a quartering wind will move me around some. let use know what your friend finds. Luck to you. Lance
