right i've asked this before but have some new updates.
my car pulls to the left ( passenger side in uk ) all the time... it feels like i have a slightly flat tire on the front left side ( where it pulls ) but it isn't all tires are set at 34 psi ( check regularly)
Had multiple Alignments done, the last one was with a very highly recommended guy who told me the geometry of the car is fine and there is no reason that the car should be pulling left.
He then told me it must be the tires causing the pull.... he seemed certain of it.
So i rotated my tires back to front ( can't do side to side as they are directional ) and it made no difference at all. I didn't expect it too as i had this issue before on a previous set of tyres.
I have a personal mechanic who is stumped aswell... he has replaced springs, top strut mounts and checked for play, anything bent (without taking the suspension apart) and a whole load of other things in the quest to fix the problem but no joy.
Then last week we decided to try swapping the tires side to side just to see if the pull would be gone.... and boom the pull was gone!!! and was now pulling to the right... So thought it must have been the tires!!!
Wrong..... once i had driven on them for a couple of hundred miles the pull slowly returned to the left.... so i'm guessing the pull to the right was due to the uneven wear that the tire had gotten being on the side that pulled over time.
So it can't be tire pull, supposedly not alignment or geometry of the car...... that doesnt really leave much to check now ?
here is the last alignment readings once done.
left front .................. right front
-0.47 camber ............. -0.12 camber
4.36 caster ............. 4.38 caster
0.03 toe ............. 0.03 toe
front
0.06 total toe
0.00 steer ahead
left rear ................ right rear
-1.27 camber .............. -1.13 camber
0.07 toe ............... 0.03 toe
rear
0.04 total toe
0.05 thrust angle
