81 a/c
Hi guys
my van has a steering problem I think, when driving you have to steer to the right to keep the van in a straight line, this has caused the tyres to scrub. I have had the tracking checked and the guy said it was spot on.
Recently a grinding noise has started from the right front wheel, this noise stops if you press the brake pedal, I thought it may be brake pads but I'm pretty sure I changed them last year or the year before maybe the van has done no real mileage in the last couple of years maybe 5000 probably less. I haven't had a look yet as if its not the brakes then I don't really know what to look for all advice very gratefully received

thanks
