steering wheel straight vehicle pulling to the left after geometry
Hi all, im new to the forum and looking for your advice
had 4 wheel alignment carried out by my local garage, however the steering is now straight but the vehicle pulls to the left, im having to correct the steering too much due to the pulling
not sure if this is relevant, front top mounts and bearings have been replaced as well as the complete suspension on the rear right hand side
tyres have plenty tread, 215 45 17 34 st170 alloys set to 34 psi
ford focus 1.6 petrol hatch back 04 plate lowered all round on 30mm eibach ford springs
any ideas what needs to be done to rectify?
can someone explain the report to me & advise of the ideal figures
Cheers

Too many posts.. I need a life!!
Have you checked the front subframe alignment? Could be out and causing this.
You need some aligment pins to check. To adjust, slacken off the subframe mounting bolts a bit and the then shift the subframe about until the pins go in.
Pic below of me doing exactly that.
Edit.....
Just noticed that it was the rear suspension that was renewed.
In that case, not sure. You might need some camber bolts on the back and or the alignment checked elsewhere.

The sub frame has never been disturbed and neither the rack having said that it has been checked and it is all aligned...
