Problems with alignment

[497adam]

Having problems with pulling to left ( 172 non cup) when alignment was checked it was out a bit , so adjusted. Took it up the road a bit better but not 100% so back on ramp when the gauges went on there settings were all over the place again. So they set again went back up road still not right. Any ideas? Worn bushes ?

Wheel bearing?

 

[497adam]

more that the alignment keeps changing rather than just pulling

 

[497adam]

Any ideas?

Where to start? How old are the steering and suspension parts - what parts have you changed, etc?

 

[497adam]

its done 66k (genuine as far as mot's ect point) its had a set of eibach pro lines and two new front shockers about 10k ago(birchdown fitted) and a ball joint drivers side about 3k ago

Check for play in everything up front before you do anything else.

Tyre pressures, tread depth, anything have play when jacking the car up?

Rear axle bushes caused my problem like that had wheel alignment done and was still all over the place done worn rear bushes set up again problem was gone may b different but always best t check

Where are the rear axle bushes? :S

 

[Tony Hunter]

Where it attaches to the body, two big bushes under there.

Steering rack bushes could be shot ie your rack is moving and constantly changing geometry, mine did this and replaced both bushes

Will start and have a look for play

What alignment set up was used?

 

[497adam]

They couldn't find any play in anything bar strut top mounts( couldn't be done on day) Fitted a pair of wishbones precausionary then re did tracking. Overall a lot better but still feels like it wanders to left not exactly pulling anymore. Could this be strut top mounts?

Worth replacing if advised with OEM ones.

String the car so you can see yourself whats happening to the sus, best way to get it bang on

Remember natural camber of the road will pull it slightly to the left.

 

[497adam]

doing it regardless of camber, kinda weird as not exactly pulling just wanders to left
