Pull to the right on acceleration

Hi All.

I've just taken delivery of a 2010 face lift RRS with 30k Miles. Everything is well except that i've noticed that it pulls to the right, quite dramatically, on acceleration. I've test driven a friends for comparison and his does this ever so slightly, but nothing to the extent of mine. Is this a characteristic or is there a problem? I've already sent it back to the dealer once for vibration at the wheel and this was solved by a re-balance.

Any help very welcome!

Cheers,
Nick

Hi Nick,

Had a similar problem with mine after I bought it from land Rover dealer. Had serious torque steer and vehicle was pulling to the right. Problem was vehicle was 20mm lower front and back on the offside than the near side and was down to the suspension height sensors on offside which was sorted out under warranty. If not sorted will cause abnormal tyre wear.

Cheers

I'd start off with a simple alignment check up (about £50). Thumbs Up
Is there any uneven tyre wear too Question

RRS's are renowned for losing alignment over time (mine even came from the factory on the Censored Rolling Eyes ). I had mine done twice in 2 years Confused ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i
