Steering pulling



  Clio 182 *FF
Got a 182ff owned for nearly a year now, and its always pulled to the left when driving, tyre pressures are the same, depths are the same, tyres are the same tread pattern etc.

ive never got round to doing the tracking until today so had the tre's replaced and the trackrods, and four wheel lazer allignment done, when it was finished i took it around the block and now its pulling exactly the same but to the right, obviously i went straight back to find out they'd put the front wheels on opposite sides. They swapped them back and re- done the tracking, and now its pulling to the left just like before.

My thoughts are that the passenger front wheel is buckled, which will be a dent to my pocket, but is there a chance it could be weighted wrong? Could wheel weights be whats throwing my steering?

Mine started doing this after a wheel swap round. I thought it was because one of the tyres was worn more than the other. After having new tyres, it still does it. So it could be the wheel itself. It only slightly pulls above a certain speed and I'm too lazy to investigate it at the minute.

Would rule out balancing for me though as they'd have been re-balanced when the new tyres were put on.

Cheers, yeh its not like a wheel weight would have just fallen off haha, buckled wheel i think, ive got new tyres just come, when i get them fitted ill check the wheel when they balance it. The wheels mashed with kerb marks from the previous owner in the snow last year i wudnt be surprised if its warped. I just want to drive in a straight line for once!
