RRS keeps pulling to the left slightly

Hi

I've this problem for a few months and I need to try and resolve it.

My RRS keeps pulling to the left slightly and at about 80mph the steering starts to vibrate.

I have had the balancing done and everything is fine, I have had the 4 wheel alignment done and this is fine, I've had a LR Specialist take a look at the Lower Suspension Arms and these are fine.

Any ideas?

Try swapping your wheels around, front to back.

Try jacking the front up and see if the front wheels spin freely I'm thinking you may have a brake lightly binding

Thanks mark will give it a bash on the weekend.

A few have recommended that the lower suspension would be the first place to start.

Or another way to check that, see if that wheel is hot after a run. Thumbs Up


I hold no responsibility for you burning your hand though. Laughing

I know that you have had the 4 wheel alignment done, but, binding brakes aside, this really is the most likely cause. It may well be that the rear wheels are parallel with each other, but not with the chassis. This would cause the car to "pull" and you will wear tyres unevenly because the steering is being held slightly in lock to compensate.

I would take it somewhere else for a measure up, unless you fancy doing it yourself.
