Here’s Why PS5 Joysticks Drift (and Why They’ll Only Get Worse) | iFixit News
Why are the PS5’s joysticks drifting? They use the same fallible hardware as most game controllers. Here’s what’s happening inside, and how we could fix it.

I know I can't tune the car to accommodate I have tried, and I sure cant tear the controller apart, and PS5 isn't new (don't even know if you can find a new one) so no warranty, I guess I have to go the 70.00 option.

Stick drift. Had this with the DualSense that came with my console 3 weeks before warranty ended. Sent it in under warranty and got it back in less than a week. If yours isn’t under warranty you can try cleaning it out, sometimes it’s caused by debris stuck inside, or rebuilding it yourself if you have the tools and part, otherwise you buy a new or used one.

That was starting to happen to me last week when I pushed the stick to turn right my car would wanna turn left.
Thankfully it has since then stopped.

Unfortunatly for the DualSense firstparty controllers, only the Edge controllers have onboard software to actually verify the amount of stick drift and an option to apply a deadzone before input is registered by games.
Also you could swap the faulty stick.
But calling it a GT7 issue seems very far stretched, otherwise it should be much more public like "Nintendo Stick drift" I guess.
Maybe GT7 is just a game that has the least amount of game internal deadzone applied and all other games you and your buddies play have basic integrated leeway where you just dont notice this small amount of stick drift (this is much more likely than a GT7 software issue).

Plung the controller to PC and run tests via hardwaretester.com... you'll be able to tell right away if you have a drift or not.

Pull stick out, it only moves out a fraction mind, and blow hard through a straw pointed at base of stick, or better still use compressed air.
Lots of times it’s just a bit of dust causing the drift and blowing on it with the slight lift is enough to shift the debris.
If that doesn’t do the trick, instead of air, use electrical contact cleaner immediately followed by air for a more intense clean.

Not a GT7 issue because I am on a ps4 and I have no drift problem at all

Is anyone else still having this issue?
I legitimately thought I was losing my mind. Since last week (since update??) any GR 3 or 4 car can randomly just steer left for no apparent reason.
Other games I’m having no steering issues whatsoever. Only thing I haven’t tried is other pads as I don’t have any. I’ve checked counter steer etc all off.
