Pulling to the left when i shut off!

Featured Replies

Hi all

I have a pulling issue as stated and i cant work it out.

I was on the way to work on monday morning and hit one of those camberd curbs at about 50 mph on the a500 smashed my front drivers side wheel

And both off side tyres nackerd so pit the sapre on the front and had to get to where i was going with a flat rear

Ive had the car in the air and the steering rack arm was slightly bowed not a biggy as such !

However i managed to borrow a spare from a mates golf which has a different rolling radius so i put this on the rear

Now keep in mind i hit the curb on the drivers side

Why does it all of a sudden pull to the left :/

If anything it should pull to the right ive not had it tracked this will be done when the new wheel and tyres come

The bottom arm is fine i have compared to the left side with measuring from certain points

Evrything seems fine

But on the top horizontal part of the hub rust has freshly broke off so im wondering if its bent this ?

Can anyone shed any light as the car never pulled before at all

Doesnt pull under load/acceleration

Only when i shut off and when breaking

Thanks in advance

Steering arm might be of a different size, thus causing the wheel to turn left

Need your steering geometry checked out, (garage job) and replace with genuine Skoda parts if anything is damaged, not swapped from another make of vehicle.

Is the oversize wheel on the back end on the drivers side?

Yes the oversize wheel is on the rear drivers side

But have just had the tyre fitted

Got it back home put the wheel on and took it for a test drive but still pulls to the left so now all wheels and tyres are the same

Why what may your theory be
