1.6 cc Pulling to the Left

Post by W3R3W0LF666 »

Hi all,

I'm having a problem with the what I can only presume is the steering on my Allure 206. It's pulling to the left. Yesterday I had the tracking adjusted (which was hideously misaligned accoring to the garage - not from me but the previous owner) it has helped a bit but the car still veers off to the left. Is it going to be a problem with the steering or could it be something else?

Thanks in advance :)

If the tracking was "hideously misaligned", then the tyres would have worn unevenly. Try swapping front to rear both sides and see if that helps. Make sure tyres have correct pressure too and that they are all the same size.

If the garage are any good, they should check them before setting tracking.
