Car Pulling Left Slightly

[stenve]

man that sucks

im no help, i have no idea what it could be.

i guess i'll see how i go when i take my car in, i'll try fulcrum first.

I'll be having a hicas lockbar put on aswell, so i'll let you know how that goes.

Is your steering fairly neutral? i found while driving at about 100kms i can swing the wheel left and right a few centimeters with little to no feedback. and once i get to 110kms it starts getting a bit shakey

Maybe the car has hit a curb at some point and something got bent?

Steering is perfect, no slack whatsoever, no vibration at any speed everything is 100% even just checked the ride height and all 4 are 380mm!

Hopefully someone can help?????

i have had every car ive owned do this, its normal (to a certain extent ofcourse)

dont quote me on this but i have heard time and time again it is purposely meant to drive left if u fall asleep behind the wheel so that you dont hit oncoming traffic on your right

kind of makes sense to me but knowing every car that i've owned slightly pulls to the left if i let go of the steering wheel hints to me that its a deliberate thing by design even tho all of them have been wheel aligned atleast once whilst in my possesion and all specs were what they are meant to be

i have been told that a adjustable caster rod setup can override this, thats as far as my knowledge goes with this matter

I heard the same thing, unfortunately the new caster bushes didn't fix the issue

funny you mention that, just noticed my driver side rear is slightly higher than the other side. i'll need to get that adjusted too. haha

Mate I honestly feel your pain...... Until yesterday! Got a new set of tyres fitted and it drives dead straight! Check the condition of your tyres!! Mine had plenty of meat on them but the rubber was just really old! Side walls and everything were saggingy!

Having said that rather than spending 400 now on tyres borrow a mates set of tyres! And see if that helps, cause u don't wanna spend another 400 for nothing- ensure your tyres are correctly balanced!

new tyres helped me alot also. did the swap with the wheels from my old 33 to check first.

another thing i noticed last night... i have volk gtcs and the centrebore on the rim is larger than the hub.

I put some hubcentric rings over the hub to fit the wheel better. now my shakey/dodgey steering at 100km/h+ has gone away.

Still pulls a little to the left, but it doesnt seem quite as bad now.

What wheels are you running? another thing for you to look at maybe?

I'm starting to think it's the tyres too.

I'm running stock wheels with 225/45/17 tyres which are only 6months (11,000k's) old but they are crappy Achilles which I'm guessing were the cheapest the complier could find!

I just put around 275k's on the car this weekend and overall it is better. When I travel in the right hand lane on the M1 it will actually drift right but nowhere near as much as a left cambered road. Also the overall steering feel is alot more responsive than before. A bit unsetteling to begin with as the car was very responsive anyway but I'm used to it now.
