Car Pulling to the left
« on: 02 May 2010, 10:42:47 »
Hi.  My car is pulling really bad to the left, I have had it tracked but this has made no difference at all.  Its also had a new track rod arm fitted (tracked after).  I have also noticed the steering wheel isn't straight.  Any idea's.

Did you get 4 wheel alignment done,is the tyres wearing on inside/outside,if so swap them opposite and check tyre pressures :y

Didnt get a four wheel track?  There is no abnormal wear on the tyres and the pressure is fine to.  what about the wheel not being straight, what would cause this?

Was the steering wheel straightened and clamped before alignment,if so car is not aligned properly.I would recommend a 4 wheel alignment and also check the correct part was fitted

No mate.  They didnt clamp the wheel before tracking the car.  Is this why my steering wheel isn't straight either.  Do most trye places do this 4 wheel alignment then i.e quickfit for example

Thats what the problem is mate,i'm not sure what garages would do the 4 wheel alignment,quickfit should,i would enquire first... shouldn't cost much more.I know over here in N.Ireland its 20 quid for the 4 wheel tracking

This is sound advice! Save yourself a few quid up front by changing the front wheels with the rears, to eliminate the tyres from the equation  :y
