Understeer, and pulling to the left?

[Trojan]

Recently I've noticed the 172 pulls to the left with the steering wheel centred. Also, on roundabouts if I really chuck the car round it understeers like mad and I have to back off to bring it back into line.

I had the tracking done only a 1000 miles back, so does anyone have ideas what could be causing this?

Cheers

check the tyre pressures, what tyres are yu using?

 

[Trojan]

I've got Eagle F1 GSD3s on the front, PE2s on the rear. Front pressures are both around 31, rear around 26.

u sure they tightened everything if they made adjustments after tracking.....or nside shock worn?

 

[blink172]

Could be Tyre pressures or tyre wear, might be a leaking shock. Get it to someone who knows what they are doing. Eg GDI/Rentech/Rsport

Are any of these in the north of England? If not do you have any suggestions of specialists I could take the 172 to in the north?

Depends where abouts you are.
Any good garage (usually not Renault) can do the suspension checks for £30~40 swopping the tyres round is free beyond that see any good dealership (again depends where you are) and they should be able to diagnose any suspension aligment issues.

Change the tyres, they're cr*p, no-one on this forum would recommend either of them

I'm in Wakefield.

If I don't get any recommendations of decent specialists in the Yorkshire area then I suppose i'll just take it to one of the local garages and see what they say.
