Default s1 pulling

Need help.

My S1 pulls to the left none stop. The steering wheel isnt aligned propally but im guessing thats not my problem.

i dont reckon tracking will fix the problem as its to strong of a pull.

im changing all the tyres, would it be my track arms?

Check all the tension arms etc on the roll bar are straight. It may well have had a prang sometime in its life, they bend very easily (

Most places do a free tracking check.

While having a free check look at all the connecting parts/bushes etc..

Hi mate if shes spinning off line i think it will be tracking and TCAs my cars has the same problem. And those are the faults. This should result obvisouly in one side tyre wearing out usually reasionably rapid.

Havent had a quote yet, as not sure to do it myself or which mechanic local to use, they all seem like knock artists. But if you get a quote please post it. So i have an idea of the cost.
