Car Pulls Left - Alignment

[James_3]

My Ibiza FR TDI pulls left quite strongly.
I have had the bushes changed but it is no better. Swapped tyres front to back. Had alignment done.
Here is my alignment print out from today, the people who did it said that the readings were not bad enough to make it pull like it does. My local Seat dealer had the car for 2 days and didn't fix it.
Advice Please.

Thanks.

could be wrong but a common problem i think

seat aren't very good at alignment...mine still pulls to the left and just by sight i can tell one tyre is pointing out!

i'd say get a specialist to do it, unless you got old tyres on (then i'd just wait)

yeah common problem on mk4 ibizas...i got the same...i read on here somewhere that it was the bearings in the top mount somewhere?!?! the guy who replaced them said the problem was gone!
does it also 'click' when on/near full lock?

Two people have suggested the top mount bearings to me aswell. It can clunk a bit when there is some lock on going round a bend.

mine does it too.very annoying.

Does anyone know what the rear toe should be as standard?

Could it be a case of torque steer?? Looking through the threads it seems to be a common problem with TDi's (my FR TDi does it yet my petrol sport didnt). I mainly get it when crusing abouse 2000rpm, also alot more when accelerating.

it pulls all the time not just accelerating so i dont think it is torque steer.
i am guessing it is the rear axle but i know its not adjustable whithout shims etc.

it isn't torque steer...as mentioned above, this would only happen as you accelerate hard. and as far as i know mine only started pulling left when SEAT changed the bushes (no pulling from new at all)
