very slight pulling to the left.not annoying but pulling nonetheless.
I have read many of the posts on suspension woes but nailing this one on the head first time might save me a lot of time and expense.

i'm "guessing" that because the tracking was out the front tyres may have worn and thus be causing this.i suppose i could swap the wheels around and see if there is any difference or wait till i get new boots fitted.


Any ideas?

Try swapping fronts the rear and vice versa, and see what happens

what have you tried to fix prob Jan?have you done your wishbones yet?

the thing is it breaks straight,it accelerates straight,under deceleration also but on a motorway cruising she drifts left which may be the camber on the road or that Muther fooker that tracked it today is blind. :-k

good point.cause its stored from one week to the next and I get to drive it every other week so maybe the tyre pressure's were out.
thanks gunner.will sleep better tonight :D

i took both wheels off.. counted how many truns the steering wheel was then put it in the middle,
i then moved both hubs perfectly level and straight then wound the track rods out until i could place the rod up the hole :-)its fine to get me about until professional tracking is sorted

Everytime I mention it the fckers just say no chance it's too low! If I wind my coilovers all the way up to have it tracked it'll be ok when I slam it again I presume?

Motorsport company?

Did i hear rumors that tweeks did laser alignment and tracking, and could accomodate very low cars?
