Whoops where did that curb come from?. - SEAT Cupra.net

HOOLIGAN · 09-10-2001, 13:35

Needing advice. I clipped the curb with the left front wheel on my 1.8 20VT last week. The alloy aint preaty but dosent seem knackered. I have had the tracking done and it still wants to pull to one side. Went to Wiltshire and sons Seat dealers yesterday and they could see nothing wrong. Anyone know of anyone who specializes in this kind of thing?. Cant drive a wonky Cupra for rest of my days. Any other suggestions?.

Cheers!

Take your car to a tyre specalist with computerised 4 wheel alignment equipment and have it checked.

Having the tracking done is ok but will not solve what you are talking about.

Should only cost you about £25

Did the same thing in my ibiza, didnt affect the tracking, but I was worried about the state of the tyre afterwards ( took a chunk out of the wall of the tyre ) so replaced the wheel and tyre. £250 later, and I know I wont be going up any more curbs again

, there is just no give in the tyres
