right before i top myself because all i want is this car sorted and okay! i thought id ask about this... see if theres anything im missing...

ive fitted new lower arms, wheels, spaced the fronts out 5mm and have lowered it by 30mm as most will know.

today i had my tracking sorted... i drive home and boom, its still veering off to the left ever so slightly.
i take it back, they check it, take it for a test drive and say this...

'see if it settles in the next couple of days, could just be the camber or the tyres being camber conscious... if not, try swapping the rear wheels with the front... if that fails come back and we will have a play around'

any ideas chaps? i just want it out of my fucking hair all these little shitty problems!

pretty stupid question but if i do swap front and rear... tracking will still be sound yesi?

If you swap the front to rears it will make little or no difference, when does it pull to the left? All the time, when breaking, when accelerating?

what have you lowered it with, spring? Shocks and springs? Coilovers?

Also have you checked your wheel bearings and track rod ends for play?

sticking caliper? silly question but are both spacers the same size are they dead straight across? is the spacer seated properly if tracking has been done then really shouldnt be a prob i might be tempted to get another garage to have a look

well the garage i go to are well known and trusted. checked spacers, all bob on, tracking is bob on

have lowered it with 30mm springs tony. it does it all the time, but not majorly.

i think one of my wheel bearings might have gone, think its front left as it happens?

the blokes said its the wheels leading the car obviously, he said if its the tyres or wheels, swapping them may make a difference. but yeah, could a wheel bearing cause that?

wheel bearing can cause that, the play in the bearing can make it pull, jack the car up, spin the wheel, see if it sounds or feels rough, then gently rock the wheel side to side, and up and down, if there is play or movement in the bearing, have it replaced, only about £14 for a bearing plus 1 hour at a garage to fit it

sweet tony! tbf ive noticed the droning for a while, after my dad pointed it out lol!

bloke did jack it up and span the wheel, i could see it rocking slightly. so ill get that sorted, because they have to be pressed in dont they?
and see if that stops it

Im not sure about the front but back ones are easy to do yourself.

Fronts are a bit harder to do, they need pressing out, then a new one pressing in

were ya tyres brand new or 2nd hand? cos they wear to wheel alignment so if they have been driven round on incorrect alignment an then u have it set up properly it can affect the steerin an how the car drives.
id try swappin the backs to the front 1st cos its free to do

_________________

if it's minor I wouldn't worry too much abut it tbh...mine is simlar, I put it down to being lowered with wider wheels on.... (i.e. increased affect of road camber).
I don't have issues with tyre wear and tracking is regularily done. Suspension is new too....
