Geo Specialaist in the North?

[whatxd]

As the title says, anyone know of any geo specialists in the north? Preferably near Manchester but at this point I'd go pretty much anywhere to get this car sorted.

Cayamn has been pulling to the left for years, Revolution Porsche could not fix the problem. They set the tracking up perfectly straight and it went left. They tried to set it up to pull to the right (and then get it straight from there) and it still went left.

The only thing they did not do was swap the wheels around because they did not have the tyre equipment (I don't have asymmetrical tyres).

I've deflated the tyres on the right hand side of the car hoping this would help, but it did not.

I'm thinking that simply switching the tyres around wouldn't have fixed the problem anyway as it is impossible to get this car to pull to the right. Then again, I know very little, maybe it would have? Either way I'm in need of a specialist who could also change tyres if necessary.

Thanks

Just thought I'd update this thread to say that I took it to Center Gravity despite them being the furthest away because I was looking for a company whose bread and butter is geo rather than one of many services.

I'm delighted to report that they've solved the problem. Chris is so knowledgeable and his passion and enthusiasm are plain to see right from the get go.

As I said in the original post, this is a problem that has been going on for several years and I've taken it to numerous places. Here's a thread I created in the summer of 2016 where someone suggested taking it to a geo specialist https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

Being busy, I didn't have time to sort it straight away but since creating that thread, I've taken it to two different places including Revolution who weren't able to solve this problem (despite that, my overall experience with Revolution has been positive and they didn't charge me when they couldn't fix it even though they spent two hours on it).

Center Gravity were literally my last hope and they didn't let me down. Well worth the drive down and every penny I spent too.

Was it anything in particular that was wrong (e.g. tyres, caster, camber, etc) - or just the sum of lots of incorrect settings?

Sum of lots of incorrect settings, mostly relating to the rear of the car which was pulling the car around. The make of tyres was also a contributing factor.

The make of tyres is not going to make a car pull left !

The tyres on the front were a different age and make to the tyres on the back, contributing to the issue rather than being solely responsible.

He did not charge me for new tyres nor was he involved in the process of me getting them elsewhere. He had no reason to lie.

£350, no new parts fitted or required other than me getting new tyres once I arrived back up north.

There were numerous test drives involved and I was there for 5 or 6 hours. In the end it was set up on donor wheels due to the slight issue with the tyres and the slightest tread difference (around 1.5mm front and back). I drove it myself on the donor wheels and it was bang on.

Once I had my wheels back on, the pull was still ever so slightly there on the journey home due to the tyres but much better than it's been for the past few years. I could tell it was much better and I was reassured that once the new tyres were on, it would be as good as it was on the donor wheels.

The tyres are now on and it is perfect.
