Car pulls left

[Weyro]

Wondering what i should check/replace to fix this. Ive put on new balljoints but that hasnt fixed it. Ive got some track rod ends to go on too.

What else could it be?

Cheers

Tracking. Did you have it done after fitting ball joints? I would stick rod ends on aswell then get it tracked.

^^^ this

And check tyre pressures

Yes mate will be the tracking after changing the suspension.

[Weyro]

yea i got the tracking done when i put on the suspension and ball joints, tyre pressures are fine too

[StuDoc 72]

Wierd mate is it just when your driving along normally? Did u re seats the springs?

Who done the tracking? U find alot of garages do tracking and dont have a fucking clue what they are doing. Was it a tyre n exhaust centre by chance?

Are you definitely on a flat bit of road?

If you can hop onto the other side of the road and see if it goes the other way. Road camber is a bitch at times haha

[Weyro]

Its when im on the motorway, definitely not the road, yea i reseated the springs and it was my brother who did the alignment, with a laser rig

lots of camber on your wheels will make your car sensitive to the camber of the road, might be to do with that

[Weyro]

i did notice that there is a slight bit of camber on the front right wheel, is there anyway of adjusting this without buying topmounts? camber bolts?

[morgey]

Theres slight movement in the 2 shock bolts onto the hub. I normally lift the hub (put a jack under it to take the weight) then tighten them. It gives a little bit of camber but you want a little bit any way.

If one wheel has camber and the other doesnt do this to the side with out and try it.

ok cool, ill give it a go, thanks

What toe are you running? If your car is setup with any toe-out the car will tramline and follow the camber of the road a lot.

Another thought.. Check your brakes, is one rubbing or sticking slightly causing the car to pull to a side?

[Weyro]

ok cool ill strip them down and clean them, hopefully get this solved before japfest, will suck having to constantly turn right to stay in a straight line for 6 hours lol

Well after you've been driving if you get out straight away and put your hands near your brake discs and see how hot they are. Can easily tell straight away if one is rubbing/binding
