Camper pulls to left

Post by grahamp »

My first input to the forum!!
My T25 has all of a sudden started to pull to the left (nearside). Snakes slightly at less that 10 mph and steering wheel wobbles at higher speeds.
Wheels have not been kerbed!
Offside tyre is now more worn on inside edge. Nearside tyre has even wear.
Jacking up with both fronts off the ground nothing obviously wrong.
I dont understand how only one tyre can wear on the edge with the other OK.
Any suggestions??

Raius rod rubbers failed? upper wishbone bushes failed... these will cause symptoms you describe... for it to "suddenly" do it, its something that needs doing ASAP.....

Hi...try swapping front tyres from side to side first and give it a run up the road. If that don't sort it, then you could have a tyre going out of shape..
Mmm what's that strange smell from my exhaust...
