drifting to the left

[davidw]

has anyone else suffered from the same problem?

my 51 cupra has over the last few months started to drifted to the left on all roads and at any speed.

had the tracking checked by a number of the different firms, including a four wheel laser set up, but no problems have been found.

the dealer has been its usual very helpful self. 'they all do that sir' was their findings!!!

any assistance in trying to cure this would be appricated.

cheers.

It does rift to left on mine.
dealer says its a common thing & 4wheel set-up helps abit.
May ask for someone to correct the sub-frame or so people say!

mine does it slightly too, again took it back to the dealers, they checked it nothing wrong, they told me same 'its a characteristic of the car' had laser checked again no problems.

Tyres wear evenly tho!

All of them do it. Just one of those things

 

[m.r.davies]

yes mine does it, even after laser tracking

does that mean everyones tyre wear is uneven?

Not all of them by any means.. but it's not uncommon at all. A full geometry check and can help things, and some people have found switching away from the standard tyres helps too.

Mine does it, there was a massive thread a while ago, have a search, think you can adjust camber but I just put up with it, besides if I fall asleep I would rather hit a tree than a lorry coming the other way!!

mine is much better on the GSD3's than it was on the factory fit continentals......

tyre wear on both has always been 100% even too.....

it's just one of those things.....

I only ever noticed this once and that was after i got new front tyres!

Got the tracking done and it was fine after that!

I think Pabs had a lot of ploblems with this but can't remember if he ever solved it....

Mine does too, not as much now with Eagle F1 tyres though.
