Hi all,

New to the forums here, and a new owner of a used 2015 BRZ. Pretty much since the first day of collecting the car, I've been experiencing the traction control kicking in (light coming on + sound + vibration) when turning right, even at low speeds (50km/h).

I would say the traction control issue is a symptom, not a cause. Something is causing my rear wheel(s) to lose grip and thus triggering the nannies. Also, sometimes after making a right turn, I can feel the car pulling to the left.

All of this is only happening when I make right turns. Left turns are perfectly fine.

My car is on used stock 86 absorbers and Continental MC6 tyres.

It's been two months. I've sent my car to multiple workshops (Subaru authorized workshop, an external suspension specialist, a tyre expert shop), and nobody can solve the mystery. I have tested with two different stock 86 absorbers. I have rotated my tyres. I have checked the alignment. The wheel sensors are working fine.

I'm at my wits' end. Please help!
