Hi all,
So my car is pulling to the left when I let go of the wheel.
When I go the DS3 I noticed it wasn't driving very well so I investigated the front end especially because the front springs had been replace and I thought something must not have been aligned or put back correctly.
I found the top mounts were not aligned so I adjusted them and tracked the car with a trackace tool Link
It's a great piece of kit and it's paid for itself with the amount I've used it but it takes a couple of attempts as it aligns the drivers side wheel to the passenger so you'll have the steering wheel on the piss the first time but you can dial that out when you do a trail run.
Anyway, the tracking is set correctly and when you hold the wheel straight the car goes straight but as soon as you let go the car wants to go to the left.
The tyre pressures are correct, the front two tyres are around the same tread but a little low and are the same make and model of tyre.
Could it be a characteristic of the Michelin Pilot Sport 3 when they are down on tread?
I think I'll try swapping the front two over and see if that helps or send the car the other way.
What are you thoughts on this?
The rear springs had been replaced by a different garage so could they have done something wrong there to make this happen?
