Pulling to the left

[jimpy9]

My car seems to pull to the left slighty. I took it in to my local quick fit today to check the tracking, they checked it and said it was spott on, what else could it be?

 

[BREENY BOY]

Mines does the same i took mine to quick fit to and they said it was spot on too

Try a different garage for another opinion?

They all do it, 197s and 200s, I wouldn't worry.

It adds chracter!!! Just drive everywhere on nice twisty roads and you won't notice it.

Mine does it too.

when i had the megane 225 wheels on and the 225/35 tyres mine drove arrow straight

now with the r26r wheels and 225/40 it pulls to the left slightly

try swapping your tyres/wheels around :thumbsup:

try you tyre pressure one may be down slightly

 

[Ed...]

All cars are designed to pull to the left so u hit the rumble strip if you fall asleep

 

[jimpy9]

what so try swapping the two fronts over?

 

[Ed...]

no its part of the steering aligment. straight is pulling to the left . . . not alot but enough to wake you up whe you fall to sleep

It's to do with the total geometry set up of the vehicle and the camber of the roads. My 197 used to do it, had it checked on a 4 wheel laser hunter rig and it was spot on. If I used to drive in the middle of the road it would be fine. Guys at work (Landrover chassis engineers) said nothing to worry about as a lot of hot hatches are set up as sensitive as this.

try driving on the opposite side of the road (assuming theres no traffic) and see if it still pulls left. Could just be road camber?

 

[stuieplk]

all cars pull to the nearside because of the camber in the roads. Fat tyres and stiff suspension highlight this.

My does the same. I have had it laser tracked twice and had the wheels rebalanced several times but no change. It must be normal.
