Steering pulling to the left?

Hi guys,
Just wondering is it just me, or does anyone elses steering pull slightly to the left?

My '10 sport always seems to pull slightly to the left.

I've never hit a wheel or anything, all wheels are well balanced and tyre pressures are all spot on.

When driving in a straight line, my steering wheel needs to stay slightly right hand down to ensure perfectly straight and level driving.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Mine does the same.

Had it back to the dealer who did a 4 wheel alignment and was spot on, tyre pressure checked, tracking and still it pulls to the left, like you i have to keep a little pressure on the steering wheel to the right to keep in a straight line.

I shouldn't but do live with it as its not severe, just an annoyance. --------------------------

the camber on UK roads will obviously tend to make a car drift to the left.

that aside, i don't suppose many cars will travel in a precise straight line with no hands on the wheel. too many variables in the tyres, mechanicals etc.

My '10 has just started to do the same.
At about 5000 miles.
Tyres do look a little uneven and worn around the outsides!
Might be time to try Ady's advice and either switch or get some new ones.

What tyres are you all running on? (or is that a thread hi-jack?)

My MY08 started to pull to the left all of a sudden... Had the alignment checked numerous times. Dealer and Land rover claimed it was road camber, yet this was on roads where previously there had been no issue and the roads had not been resurfaced.

I was persisting with claiming this issue at a time of claiming other issues, and although they claimed they did nothing to correct this particular issue, it was corrected at a time when they replaced some of the bushes to do with another issue.

Hope that makes sense.

My 'previous MY10 TDV8 did exactly the same. Dealer tried a few things but discounted the problem due to 'road camber'. After driving on a motorway for an hour or so my arm used to ache from correcting the constant left pull and the NSF tyre was showing uneven wear. Still nothing was done as it was a 'feature of the vehicle'.

However the TDV6 that replaced it does not have this 'feature' (so I thought about complaining Wink ) and goes as straight as an arrow.

Some RRS's it appears are bulit square and some are not....
