Pulling problem?

[King_kong]

Hi,

Just viewed a 172 and its was seriously pulling to the left, i dont know if its just a tracking problem or suspension. The tyres are worn unevenly and there is a dent in the front left wheel making me thinking the tracking has just being knocked out!
If its more serious than tracking what could it be and what ways are there of checking?

cheers people!

bottom arm bent, knuckle bent, steering arm bent... anything really. Needs to be on a ramp and measured really, or just buy one that seems straight.

my tracking was badly out...the car pulled HORRIFICALLY to the side...and the tyres outside edges wore VERY quickly...

prob nothing serious..

It might be the driveshafts.

The cars such a good price, and i dont know if the owner knows theres a serious problem or its just a good deal!?

Check for damage probably bedn a wisbone etc not to expensive realy and not a bad idea to refesh the bits

£100 for a shaft if thats bent.
£100 for a whisbone/ball joint

Stearing arm if bent walk away for the effort it is.
