Skoda Fabia
Steering verges to left

I took it to a well known and respected local garage and he did laser alignment - he told me something was off and he attempted to fix it. I asked him what he was doing just out of interest and he said something about adjusting the steering rod.

I took the car out yesterday on the motorway and it still veers -and if anything is doing it in a more direct way.

So it could be the alignment with the wheels (i.e. first job not done properly) - or what else could it be? Maybe the wheel alignment is just exacerbating another problem.

I did kerb it the other day!

I did also notice one type needs pumping up but would have thought he would have done it if it was major. I forgot to ask.


I'll take it to another garage

I didn't get a print out. I did observe him doing the adjustments as he did it all whilst I waited.

I'll give the tyres a pump up this week and see what happens

It was quite handy to see the car on a lift as I can see my exhaust is a bit rusty as well!
