whenever i put my foot down it pulls to the left but if i dont put foot down it dont pull at all,

i took it to vauxhall the other day to have a vibration checked out, and slight pulling to left and they swapped front and rear wheels over.

now it pulls like i dont no what!

the two fron tyres are odd would this cause it?

also had the tracking done today but this hasnt solved it.

cheers for anyone that can help

well main reason its common is because of the road camber,

make sure tyres are the same or similar pattern

that theres no bubbles or major dents in the alloys

get it tracked and balanced

if the problem still is the same then again it could just be the camber of the road your on at that time or if its intermitant then its your left wishbone (AKA lower suspension arm)

as thats the problem on my c at the mo

mine pulls a little to the left all the time, i just assumed it was the camber on UK roads....

i no of the cambers of british roads are a bit crap, but this goes even against cambers in the road,
im gonna get them to have a look at my left wishbone, see if its that,
just had it tracked didnt change the way it felt even tho it it was 7mm out
gonna get 2 new tyres soon, and get all 4 balanced see if this helps.

the 2 on the rear are both uniroyal rainsport2
the 1 on the front is a michelin
and the other is an accelera or something

mine also pulls to the left quite bad. i am going to get the tracking done soon and see if that sorts it.

best thing get the wishbone checked first as youl only have to get a wishbone and get itv tracked again if the first attemp doesnt make anything change such as my case
