why does my car drift?
My car seems to drift slightly when I take a turn on the road, even on a normal speed like 40kph. It feels as if the road is slippery although it is not. I've got the tires replaced with new ones, and the breaks pads as well.
What else can be wrong with the car? It is been my ride for the past 4 years, and this been happening since 4 months...

Check alignment and wheel balance.
Does it happen only in turns or on a straight road too?
If a car will not hold a line thru a turn, you might have some steering system problems. A car should not drift from a steady line if you hold the wheel steady in a turn. You could also have serious front end alignment problems or parts wear that allows the wheels to slightly alter their course after the steering wheel has been turned. All are safety issues and should be repaired asap.
Possibly a broken sway bar or even worse it could be a broken or loose tie rod. definatly something loose in the suspension and you need to have it fixed ASAP. I can not stress the importance of this situation enough...park the car and leave it there untill it is fixed properly.
can also be the tires. i've seen this problem before. people put the wrong tires on their car. certain type of cars call for certain speed rated tires. if you have the wrong ones on that could happen.
what it is ? shocks , alignment , tires... get a new road with no curves ?
