How bad is it? I don't mean to be insulting but it's not just the camber of the road is it, as all cars pull to the left slightly.________________________________________ Less than 24 hours to go! |

While driving, You need to lean slightly more to the right, this should balance it back out. ________________________________________ andrew315rawson@live.co.ukMoonstone phase 7 gti6 My Project thread: http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=119992&page=1 |

Side wind? The front wheels will toe in at high speed as the bushes are loaded causing the front to be 'more parallel' or enough to cause drifting with the road camber. You could test this along the same stretch of Motorway and see if reducing the speed allows you to go straight. It might be a worn suspension bush? I would take it back to the place that did the tracking and ask them to recheck the setup. You might need a little bit more toe in? What is your tyre wear like inside v outside? |

Rachels zx was doing this, had hugo track it, it was already spot on. But... It was scrubbing the outer edge of the tires so he adjusted it out a touch. All good now, drives straight and dont scrub out the tires. ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

It's a bit like wheel balancing, some places say they can do it and some places really can do it (correctly).________________________________________ Less than 24 hours to go! |

Check the passenger front wheel bearing for play. The gf's 306 hdi had slight play which made it wander to the left when letting off the throttle. It straightened up when you accelerated. It was hardly any play either. I was surprised.Did they check the camber when they did the alignment? Could be a bent strut? Check that the rear axle isn't bent aswell. I've seen front damaged cars repaired at the front but they didn't take into account that the back of the cars jumps up in a crash and when it lands can bend it, especially if it bashes a curb. It's probably something basic like bushes to be fair. Also if the tracking was out it should still drive straight. Massive toe in or out would still allow the car to go in a straight line. ________________________________________ |

Mine pulls to the right under breaking, so it's just uneven front brakes, are your brakes okay? Left one could be sticking slightly which would cause a pull |
