Steering Pulling to the left



I curbed the car some months back (drivers left and rear left wheels) and have since got new tyres and tracking done on the car but still notice the car pulls to the left - it went into Renault yesterday who said there was nothing wrong with it but I'm not convinced.

Anyone help me out with this please?
 
i have the same problem... try replacing your bottom arm... i bent the arm and track rod replaced the arm and bent the track rod but it needs replacing
Take the wheel off and have a look

how much are they?
 
i picked the arm up from a scrappers for 15quid but you can get em new for about 30quid, try GSF i think club members get discounts there? they are a good set of folks and cheap!
As for the track rod if thats bent i wouldnt expect alot for that

Isn't it just the camber in the road Steve ?? when you say you have had the tracking done do you mean 4 wheel laser alignment ??

Hitting a curb at 40MPH, i would suggest seeing if the from arm is bent (as previously said) and take it to a garage to see what else is bent!

If Steve_evo had damaged anything like as said above and if he got the car laser tracked would it still line up properly on the computer or still go undetected?

it's defo not the camber - the camber doesn't help but I've been in the middle of roads and it pulls even on te reverse camber - I did the same thing in my Dynamique so I reckon somethings bent.

^^ lol its just been done - twice infact since the bump
Get it done by someone good. Back street garage are often better.

You cna do the tracking yoursefl if you've got some space to work round the car and on a nice flat bit of concrete etc.

Definitely not a normal renault problem, as mine goes in perfect straight line unless on bumpiest of roads, or if camber is off.

Hope it gets sorted.
