    Right, Car was in the garage last night, took my mechanic friend on a test drive and he as we speak is doing a full 4 wheel alignment and steering alignment. All the tyres have been taken off and checked for wear but there is none present.

    Hopefully today will be the day my car drives in a straight line!

    Thanks for all the posts, 90% have been very helpful!

    Wandered off a bit there.
    Have you swopped the tyres around when they came off?

    Hi,

    My car always pulls to the left hand side of the road. For instance if i took my hand off the wheel it would hit a wall on the left in less than 3 seconds. I have had the car tracked and aligned, new bushes and all round new tyres. Any other ideas? Alloy wheel also in very good nik.

    Thanks.
    the roads in this country are not flat, they are cambered to drain water. you should really try in a car park where the surface is flat.

    if some of you people dont understand camber of the road to pulling to the left i seriously suggest you get a bus
    op as i said ,the bodyshop should find anything wrong
    however you have lowered your suspension so seeing as even the manufacturer had a problem with springs going past the cup on this model so they had a recall i suggest you check your suspension struts most carefully
