That is interesting, because mine lulls a little left as well and the steering is also not dead straight
Makes me feel a little better now as I took it for wheel alignment the other day and they said it is perfect

Re: Steering shake with MT's.
On wobble: the mud terrains tend to wobble a bit when breaking hard.
But worth it to confirm that it is not due to a loose king pin bearing and/or a loose wheel bearing, as well as that cake of mud!
My pulling to the left was annoying me, so I took it Kwikfit in Mosselbay over the holidays. the guy there came strongly recommended for SFAs' He fixed the 'toe' bias and although the pulling to the left is still there, it is now very-very subtle.
So in my view, even though our cars tend to do this, it is still worth confirming / checking if there is not a 'toe' bias
Also worth checking how the tyres are wearing down. If the pull to the left is too much, it should show more wear on the outside of the right front tyre and the on the inside ofthe left front tyre?

I agree with you there Alex. This toe bias is a pain in my donkey

Re: Steering shake with MT's.
Would it not rather wear on the outside left and inside right as you are forcing the car more to the right which would have the same effect as going around a bend to the right?
