Hello guys

Long story short My car used to pull to the right with a soft feeling when turning right unlike the firm feeling when turning left . In order to diagnose the problem I had the dealer do a chassis inspection to confirm the pull is not from it. Then I had to change both front lower control arms cus they were worn out. Atlast after alot of trials and errors changing all tires eliminated the pull.

But the loose feeling in the steering wheel is still present even with the pull gone and alignment done. When turning right the steering wheel doesnt go back to the center at all unless I move it. Its really annoying having to adust the steering every few seconds add to that the 60 mile ride to work I have to make each day

The car is an F10 530i with 53k miles on it.

Any idea which area I should have the dealer inspect ? Heres the alignment report

Gonna head to the dealer next week to look at the tie rods and ball joints as apparently when they get loose or worn they show the symptoms im complaining about.
