406 PULLING TO ONE SIDE

Post by parcelman »

my 406 rapier has been pulling to one side for a few weeks now,had it to the famous kwik fit to have tracking done and they said it was out a litle so adjusted it.Had it back there again for another tracking check and wheel balance and its still doing it,my tyres are really good and they couldnt visually see any signs of wear anywhere so i now have a car that pulls to one side.There has been no sign of accident damage so would it be a long shot if it could be top strut bush or caliper sticking on,any ideas guys please.

Did thick fit check all 4 wheels or just the fronts?

Hi
Theres a couple of simple things you could try first yourself . I had a problem similar to yours and i solved it by swapping the tyre corner to corner. Do the tyres have a fair amount of tread left on them? You could rule out the brakes binding by jacking the car up and spinning the wheels one by one by hand and seeing if they spin easily? Anyway let us know how you get on its annoying when you have something wrong and it can take a while to figure it out.
