GT Driver Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) I have a slight pull to the left on my '05 Zed: No suspension work performed since I've owned it (11 months) - no squeaking, creaking, knocking or clunking coming from the car on smooth or rough ground. > I have had it aligned twice and no significant variations. > I've checked for sticking calipers - none. > I've checked the tyre pressures and they were equal on both sides. I even try to increase the pressure on the passenger left side to see if it would decrease the pull to the left, no improvement. > I've driven the car on different cambers. A camber rolling to the left will intensify the pulling left in the car. On a completely flat road the pull to the left is decreased a lot. On a slightly cambered road to the right the car will more or less drive straight with no correction required. > It pulls under power and when coasting. No major noticeable issue when braking. Any ideas on where to start? Would a worn bush cause this? Edited December 10, 2014 by GT Driver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
370Ad Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 If it's a pull it's usually the rear alignment. Was the car aligned in the same place twice, as it could be the config of the ramp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT Driver Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) I had it done in two different place. The first place made a bit of a balls of the tracking so I brought to a better garage a few weeks later and it was still pulling left after that was completed. I have the alignment sheet somewhere I must dig it out. For some reason I always thought the front would be the issue due the way the steering wheel moves left of the centre point when it starts pulling.

370Ad Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Hmm well that removes incorrect ramp config. When I lowered the 70 I had to have both the front and rear to the exact 0.0X degree to get it to go straight. If the front tracking is out it usually means the steering wheel is not straight. If its actually pulling to the left/right then your countering the steer by angling the wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyndzzz Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Not the zed I know, but I had a similar issue on my MX5. I tried everything you have, I swapped the front two wheels over and it was clear it was something to do with the left wheel/tyre as the car started pulling to the right. Everything seemed perfectly fine to look at but after replacing them with nice new tyres problem solved!! I hope it turns out to be an easy a fix as mine was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 As Lyndzz has said, try swopping over the front wheels/tyres. A proper alignment is required on the 350 which includes front and rear geometry correction and will cost circa £90.00. Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WINKJ Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 the car or something else is pulling to the left? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
