F10 Pulling to the right FIXED!

I just wanted to make it easier for people with the pulling to the right problem so i am posting up m work order. This should make it easier for those being told by their dealer that the pull is normal. My car drives perfectly straight now!

This is also to help you guys who are too lazy to read the original 25 page thread
http://f10.5post.com/forums/showthre...highlight=pull

I even had the problem with the car having a rough idle at start up and it even used to shake sometimes at a red light... but that is also gone now by replacing the right side fuel sensor. This is also shown in the work order

enjoy

There are three fixes for the pull to the right. They are applied in this order:

1. Software fix.
2. Strut rotation
3. Replace upper steering column.

I have had all three done. Honestly, I wish they hadn't done the software as the car still "wanders" a bit about the straight ahead and is sensitive to crosswinds. But the pull to the right is GONE.

Thanks! I may have the fuel sensor problem, too.

Should the mods make all the Repair report which fixes problems sticky

I'm confused because the rough idle complaint response is "no problem found, vehicle driving as designed" and then the next item - a different item - is the fuel level sensor. Which I'm guessing is in the fuel tank?

Thanks for the update. For the Fuel sensor, is there a recall on the sensor or do some just need to be replaced?

It's a common issue.
