VCS engages on normal right turns. Why?

[Jwoodywild]

My wheel is off center to the left by about 20 degrees (guessing) and on occasion when turning right - I was inYosemite so think mountain like roads) at about 30-35mph the VCS kicked in - its abrupt and shakes the car. It only seems to happen turning right which I assume has something to do with the wheel being off center pointed to the left. I know it thinks I am skidding but is it this likely just a steering wheel calibration issue? I have read a bunch of threads where wheels were off but nobody mentioned this kind of action.

This is a 2003 LX 470, btw. And sadly, I only own Macs so not sure I can get Techstream?

A few possibilities:
- Wheel speed sensor not working properly
- Steering wheel/zero point calibration
- Loose wheel bearing
- Oversize/aggressive tires on uneven/poor pavement

Look at the big Techstream thread. There is a link and instructions for getting up and running on a mac. You can adjust/center the steering wheel yourself by adding/removing the same number of turns of the tie rods to left/right without significantly affecting toe.
