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!

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.

Cheap solution

Tracking will have absolutley zreo effect on pulling.
Camber and castor will.

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

Had mine tracked at Brickies on the new digital stuff and nice, improved definately, just need to get the new trailing arms on - AL , where's the trailing arm ?
then do it again and should be perfect till it gets thumped against immoveable planet

AL , where's the trailing arm ?

Bugger, i knew there was something else i was supposed to be doing..

Hate it when that happens..



I'll get on the case then.............!

Sounds like you have a combination of wheel alignment issues.

I think so Simon.... also a bit of a knock from the kerbside over bumpy ground. Must look into it.
