:D

Actually, come to think of it, all our cars end up chasing the camber eventually. It's invariably slightly left, except the 'Lude, which has so little caster, it also chases slightly right in the fast lane of dual carriageways.

ATTS cars have (I think) a more 'normal' caster, so probably that doean't happen as much. Plus the ATTS probably helps too.

When I bought the car it didn't do it, after a few thousand miles it started. Changed the wheels and tyres and it was fine for ages then started again a couple of weeks ago.

Not brakes, suspension, tyre pressures, handbrake, wheel bearings etc. I have checked/cleaned/stripped and rebuilt all of those.

I will let you know if it works.
Just for interest I swapped the fronts over and it reduced the problem quite a lot but still pulling slightly the same way.

This weekend I swapped fronts and rears and it has completely gone. Straight as an arrow.

Whats going on with that??? It's fixed so not too worried but very strange!

well, supose it has to be the way the tyres are wearing, you should try one wheel at a time and see if its both or just one wheel this may narrow it down.

your front left is the worst of the two but the rear left also gets more of a bashing than the rear right (roundabouts again).

It looks like all you issues are related to driving hard and having a nice soft compound. GOOD MAN!!! :lol:


no probs with the car is a good result..

i have swapped the fronts over for the time being.
