Hi,

Drove the other halfs fabia VRS last night and noticed that it was pulling to the left when accelerating hard. The tracking had been off slightly so went and got it done this morning. Steering is true but she still pulls to the left when on a camber free road when accelerating hard. Does anyone have any idea's that could cause this, or is it a trait of the fabia vrs??

Cheers

Jim

Sounds like torque steer to me. Will usually pull to the side that has the shortest driveshaft.

Check tyre pressures too.

Cheers mate. I will check the pressures as they were last done when i bought it for her about 3 months a go. Can't say I'd noticed that much torque steer before, although that said i hadn't accelerated hard as she had been with me, lol.

Could be the lower arms, best bet would be to look at all the suspension components.

I think they all pull slightly to the left in general driving, perhaps something to do with road camber. I can't say it would consistently pull severely to the left under strong accelleration though.
