Hi all.


My car keeps pulling to the left.
I've had my tracking sorted.
I have fitted new disks and pads because one of my disks had warped, (and i wanted some better pads)
I've fitted new rear subframe bushes as the old ones were f****d, ( I understand this can have an effect on making the car pull to the side)
I've checked the sliding pins and the calipers and they seem fine.
I've also had a look at the track rods, jacked the car up and tried shaking the wheel, only movement was the whole steering system moving.

The wishbones & balljoints , arb bushes and drop links, top mounts and bearings are all new.

I don't know what else it can be.

The suspension seems uneven by about 10mm or thereabouts on the front / or ride height.
The drivers side is the higher side.

If I'm driving on a slanted road, so lets say the curb is higher than the middle of the road, then the problem is 10x better but still not 100%.

What else can cause this problem?

Are the springs causing the ride height to be uneven? I've tested the dampers and they respond fine, no excess bouncing.
The drivers side spring is rusty, and I can see different colours on each ring of both springs.
I do get a dull thudding sound when ever I go over a rough patch of road.

I think i've told you everything.

What could my problem be?

You say you had the tracking sorted but was it. In my experience most places make a pigs ear of it and have no idea what they're doing beyond making the computer happy.

This!
I'm a bugger for it on the motorway and then start panicing thinking my car is wandering

Well I use either 1 hand when driving in a straight line or 2 when steering.

Car definitely pulls tothe left, I can feel it in the steering when and when I let go of the wheel, it just immediately turns to the left.
The garage used the laser tracking tools.
