hi peeps..

well about 4 years ago a taxi pulled out on me without checking so i kerb my car at about 10 15mph..

ever since then my cars always had funny steering/tire wear.

I've changed the wishbone on the relative side and seemed near enough right with tracking afterwards.

last sunday i lowered my car, and today i had the trackig altered. It was miles out - about 18minutes..

my problem now is with the steering wheel centered the car pulls left excessively. I have to steer right to go straight.

If i let go of the steering wheel it centres itself as it should do but still the car veers left drastically..

any ideas??

check the wishbone chassis pickup point geometry,sounds like it is out of line.
setting the tracking will mask this as it will be adjusted out.
4 wheel alignment check may point it out.

really need to check the operating arc of the suspension on bump/droop when doing the above.

what car is it?
