Tracking problem - steering staying true centre
Discussion
Daily driving a 2011 S40, which AFAIK shares the same chassis and suspension as the Mk2 Focus. Ever since I got it used the steering wheel would always want to turn left slightly, I'd have to hold it a few degrees to the right from TDC to keep it running straight.
So I got some new front tyres and tracking done. Now the wheel wants to stay a few degrees to the right and will run somewhat straight and true if I let go of it. If I move the wheel centre it will drift left slightly. Not the end of the world but it's a bit annoying.
Since tracking has done what else could be to blame? The lower control arm bushes look a bit perished, so I suppose I could replace both of those and hope that fixes it? The components themselves are straight and true.
