Change Springs Now Pulling To The Left

Featured Replies

Evening all, just change my springs and top mounts today for Eibach's and took the car for a drive.  Its now pulling to the left.  Anyone have any ideas.  

 

Also both tyres are bald on the inside so need new tyres too.  I've had the tracking looked at and the garage has said that its bang on.  

 

Thanks

Tracking may be out, get it checked.

If the strut isn't placed perfectly back in place into the hub or at the correct height that cant twist the damper and twist the spring making it pull.

Make sure both are straight and bang on in the centre.

Tyres scrubbed on inner states the tracking is off. Have 4 wheel checked (most places check for free)

Tracking. Mine was out after new springs and shocks

Get it aligned and not just tracked.

If the damper wasnt placed back correctly then the bolt that goes through the hub wouldnt go through would it?

As above, any suspension changes need alignment really.

Yeah im going to change disc's and pads tomorrow to make sure everything is more of less new ready for new tyres and alignment on Monday. Im just wondering if the new springs have highlighted a problem with the tracking/geometry that i couldnt feel before.

Again tracking, there are different styles of tracking, some are more in depth than others so it maybe that the tracking system used to try yours isnt picking up an error that one of the more expensive systems can
