Fabia ii 2014 wanders to the nearside
thetraindriver01 replied to batemansxxxb's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk II (2007-2014)
the garage will check the suspension for general things like wear, seals leaking, etc, but they will not be able to check for slight kinks, etc that you would not normally see unless the 4 wheel alignment tool was used, they will use it to measure one side of the car to the other and check for discrepancies not just wheel alignment, best to start with the easy stuff, like brakes, sticky calipers (you can check yourself - put hand on outside of alloy wheel after a good run - not a spirited one, and the wheel should be cool to the touch, if it is warm then the brakes are sticking on) and then go to more expensive items, good luck with it, post back after the garage check to let us know what they found :-) it could help others in the future... make sure you ask them to check brake balancing as the machine will show up if the brake is on when it should be off. -
Fabia ii 2014 wanders to the nearside

Maybe you could have a sticky brake calliper too, worth checking it out on a rolling road with brake balance meters - they use them in MOT bays :-) -
Fabia ii 2014 wanders to the nearside
thetraindriver01 replied to batemansxxxb's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk II (2007-2014)
I have had the same problem on my 2010 vrs mk2, garage found that the brake liner was not making contact with the disk and metal backplate of the brake pad as it should do, new set of brake pads later and it is so much better, had the 4 wheel laser alignment done too to check out suspension, track rods, wishbones, etc. Only brake liner was giving me the jip, hope it helps. -
