Probably not an AU only fault, but one us AU owners may experience. Anyway I shall begin.
I started noticing the XR pulling to the left, only 1,000 k's after getting a wheel alignment done. Driving the car off from cold, it felt like a flat spot had developed on one of the tyres. Coming back from the local Carlovers after a good gurney, I detailed my wheels and noticed that a valve cap had come off the right front wheel. Compared with the front left, there was a noticeable decrease in tyre pressure.
Remedy:
Cannibalised the valve cap off the spare, off to the local Bob Janes to get a couple of valve caps and had the pressures checked whilst I was there.
Outcome:
Handling/Steering felt back to normal, saved myself from premature tyre wear and or another wheel alignment.
