Car Pulling to the left
« on: 06 October 2006, 09:24:50 »

Not happy was driving home from work yesterday (4pm) hit a deep pot hole in the road (passenger side) and now the car is pulling to the left when travelling and doing the same when braking and to top it all the Brake shudder has returned.

Worse part of it is the droplinks have only just been replaced so hopefully they will be ok.

I know the wishbone on the driver side is in need of replacing and am planning to do the two ASAP but for the moment would a 4 wheel alignment help to resolve the pulling to the left when braking and the slightly misaligned steering wheel.

Bounced the car suspension last night to see if there was any clonking noises and I couldn't hear anything.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Pointless doing geometry until suspension has been fixed...  ...when wishbones replaced, go visit Tony ;)

and a stiff letter to your roads department telling them the hole has affected the 20" alloys and suspension of your 360 Modena and a crack team of Ferrari engineers will need to be flown into the UK to rectify the car.

Now Where do i send the bill ?

Had a feeling that might be the case, shall have to drive it as it is for the mo.

What price does Tony charge for the full geometry / 4 wheel alignment.
