steering slightly out of line

[torquesport]

had this problem since got the car i have to turn the steering wheel slightly to the right to keep it goin straight, when i brought it he told me when he had a new tyre on the front they forgot to put the weights on, could it be this??? if not what???

Its pulling to the camber of the road mate, mine did it terrible. Getting the geometry alligned will help but it will always do it. Its just one of those things

i no all cars should pull slightly to the side of the road but if i want to go straight i have to turn the wheel slightly to keep goin straight

take it to a tyre fitting place & ask them to track/align the wheels. missing weights on the wheels would be noticed when you speed up - you'd feel a wobble because one of the wheels is out of balance. Are each of your tyres inflated the same? Could be one is lower?

well im goin down to garage in a min il check all the tyres

I'd deof say your tracking is out. Shoud cost no more than £20-30 to sort put mate

On my car the steering wheel isn't quite straight when going in a straight line. Could this be your problem too? I tried taking mine off but there isn't a position on the splines that allows it to be straight so I've just learned to live with it...

mine always dragged hard to the left then new wheels and tyres and problem was gone, dont know why but it fixed it, my guess is something stupid like tyres worn differntly or something

sounds more like the tracking is out.

 

[Damoegan]

I agree with crezz, its defo the tracking
