I'd also check the front tyres for wear and check the pressures too. Has it only started doing it as the temperature has dropped?

It's got worse since having the wheel diamond cut.

It has 21" alloys... what pressure ment to be in them mate? It currently has 29psi

Personally I'd recommend NOT going with Audis factory suggested figures - I'd remove the rear toe in, so the rear toe figure is zero. Will help make it go in a straight line when you nail it, cross cambers, white lines, cats eyes etc

Noooooo, don't go kwik fit if you want it done properly. Unless you really trust your mate I'd take it to a specialist.

And if you have adaptive cruise control they won't do it anyway.

Is this a serious thread? OP owns an 550bhp car and doesn't know the tyre pressures - and even worse has a pressure in them that is way too low but then asks a forum to provide diagnostics on handling issues.

Definitely get the tracking done before bothering to inflate the tyres, tighten the wheel bolts, hold onto the steering wheel with both hands, pay attention to the road, etc. Yep, it must be the tracking.

If the tracking doesn't fix it, blame the brand of tyres, the air suspension or Audi's designers, but not the tyre pressures.

Sit on the key? Can be a bit uncomfortable.

Bunch of wankers to the pointless posts if u don't no then don't post clearly don't no your self how much psi goes in them....I have had the car 3 days so ye getting use to it! Everyone's answers and via google for tyre pressures are all over the place 30s-45s! So it's not just me who doesn't no how much to put in them!

As for wheel alignment it's the 1st thing that everyone!! Says needs doing even when its brand new tons of posts with the same problems.

Crap really! He said there machines are 50k machines when I questioned him if they can do it properly. He Gona do it for free anyway so worth a try init.

On reflection, your approach to finding out tyre pressures is the right one. Although there is a label in my driver's door that tells me the correct tyre pressures and I could read it effortlessly whilst checking them on the car, I think it's much better to put down the tyre inflator, nip indoors, fire up my computer, join a forum, write a post and sit back and wait for someone to tell me the tyre pressures.
