Hi

My piano tuner told me about this forum, so here I am. I've owned a 2002 1.4 8v 64 bhp Fabia estate from new. It's underpowered, but really solid and smooth.

One technical problem: It seems very sensitive to camber. It pulls to the left quite noticeably nearly all the time (I'm in the UK). If I find a piece of flat road, it drives straight, and pulls to the right on a right camber. It's had new (Pirelli) tyres, a new anti-roll bar and bushes, wishbone bushes and new brake pads, all changed for the first time at about 55,000 miles. The tracking's been repeatedly checked.

The brakes and handling are excellent, there are no noises and the wheel bearings are perfect. It recently passed its MOT (government safety test) with no problems.

Has anyone got any ideas? The pull is annoying, especially on a long, fairly straight run.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Hello and welcome to Briskoda.

Can't help with your questions sorry, but hopefully the :bump: will help!

Welcome to Briskoda

My Octavia on a straight is perfect, but on a road with a camber very sensitive.

Had it looked at a few times, but told it was in my head and its normal.

Welcome.

Have you checked tyre presures?

when they changed the anti roll bar did they re-align the subframe properly??

Hiya.

Sure it's following a camber, and not tramlining or following some sort of wear grooves in the road? I know my Octy did that when it was down to about 3mm tread.

Hi there mate iam a skoda tech and unfortunately alot of them do pull but it is very easy to get the front sub-frame out of alignment i would get that checked out its not a big job would only take about 20mins
