    My car is still pulling to the right.

    Ive had new tyres and the tracking done and the strut top mounts are in the correct position.

    Had the offside wheel bearing changed aswell

    Any ideas what else it could be??

    any help appreciated

    Hi Chris,

    It could be your brakes.

    Sometimes you see cars crabbing sideways as you follow them but their driver never notices. Could be an out of alignment axle or chassis due to a shunt?

    Im assuming you have checked the obvious things like uneven tyre pressures and different makes of tyre?

    Also although the tracking has been done, it might not have been done properly and the steering wheel has not been centred- could be anything like that.

    ok

    as far as im aware the car hasnt been in any accidents, but the dealer i bought it from was a bit of a mug so its a possibility.

    would the out of alignment axle or chassis be an expensive fix?

    had new tyres put on it a couple of weeks ago, all same make and i check the pressure on a weekly basis so i think ive ruled out the simple things, hopefully

    Do you think its worth getting it re tracked and the steering wheel/rack looked at??

    Getting paid in about a week so hoping to dominate any problems on the car, would be nice to have a decent running car for once

    cheers
