Transit 280 Panel Van - Ford Transit 280 Tracking - Msaffin
I have ford transit that pulls in slightly to left. Changing the tyres from rear to front solved the problem for a short while but now problem is back. When I had tracking done, they done it to Zero Degrees (Parrallel) Can anyone tell me if this is the correct tracking angle, as I cant seem to solve this problem.. Thanks. Malcolm

Incorrect tracking will not normally cause the car to pull to one side but it will cause uneven and excessive tyre wear. The most common cause of the car pulling or drifting is uneven tyre wear, try swapping your front wheels over. Zero degrees should be near enough, its not far off this when tracked correctly.
