I have checked the tires. Not the problem. The problem started around 3000 miles ago. I had Michelins all around. I just replaced(last week)the rear tires with Toyo
S/T. They grip and ride great. They have excessive roadforce but I am going to correct that this week by match mounting them. I am certain that the problem is coming from weak tension rod bushings(TENSION STRUT WITH RUBBER MOUNTING). I am going to replace them this week and will see how It changes the steering problem. I never had this condition when I first bought this X5 last Feb. I have put 30k on it in one year and hope to have the problem fixed as soon as I can.I would like to enjoy the awsome handling that I now it is capable of.
