Did you find a solution to this? Seems odd if you have had a 4 wheel alignment check and no improvement. Did the alignment check show that adjustment was required and did they adjust anything?

I don't imagine it would be but a bush failing will put your steering way out! |

Guys I just checked pressures.. That wheel was only 19 psi so it's losing air I put the pressure back to 35 but it still pulls to that wheel side. Tyre shop ha looked at it so now I'm confused especially as I just put air in and still same problem. |

^^ What did the tyre service place say about the cause of loss of pressure? Did they do anything other than 'look at it"?

When u say the inner rim do you mean the tyre or actual alloy wheel? |

You don't have a brake caliper binding on the front left wheel by any chance?

The wheel. With tubeless tyres which we all drive on, the ability to retain pressure relies not just on the tyre but also the integrity of the wheel itself.

At a tyre specialist now.. Rim is fine and fully inspected, tyre is also fine so they think maybe the valve so they replacing and will glue around edge of rim they say this should all be fine then. I will soon find out I guess. |

Good. From a safety point of view it's well worth knowing that the wheel is not cracked and is running true. The new valve and bead sealant should certainly fix the pressure loss. If you still have pull to the left then obviously will need to investigate further.

Time to get a 4 wheel alignment done. Make sure they set the EAS to tight tolerance mode. Is the vehicle on wheels >20 inch diameter? 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

Guys its started pulling again to the left and the tyre pressure is going down... Im thinking to just get two new tyres at the front? or should I swap the rears with the fronts? |
