Hi
My van has been pulling to left even after having the wheels balanced/tracking done etc.
It first occurred after having new tires fitted all round. I took it back to the garage that fitted them and they re-balanced and tracked, it seemed OK for a bit but steadily got worse again. I then took it to Jacks who balanced and tracked again. Seemed OK for a bit. Then seemed to gradually pull left again. Does anyone have any ideas? Brakes sticking maybe?
Cheers!

Re: Pulling to the left
The camber in the road will take you to the left. Short of a runway it is very difficult to find a truly flat piece of road. See if it gets better as you move away from the left of the road.

Re: Pulling to the left
Tracking will have absolutley zreo effect on pulling.
Camber and castor will.

Re: Pulling to the left
It's definitely pulling to the left. I've left it far too long and worn out the front tires - kerbside is worn on the inside and the nearside is worn on the outside edge

Sounds like you have a combination of wheel alignment issues.
Re: Pulling to the left
I think so Simon.... also a bit of a knock from the kerbside over bumpy ground. Must look into it.
