Please can anyone help. Have read some other threads on tracking and am wondering if I have the same issue.
- A couple of weeks ago, the front and rear driver's side wheels were kerbed slightly, but it but a cut in the tyre sidewall. I was away from home and Kwik Fit were nearest - so took it there.
- They recommended a single tyre as the other side was OK and they could match the tread - but they also said the tracking was out and needed doing.
- On driving 60 miles or so home, the car felt wrong, the steering feels like it is pulling to the left and some pressure needs to be applied to the right to keep the car going straight. Definitely different from the nicely balanced feel it had before.
- Took it to the local Kwik Fit and they said the tracking was still out, so they corrected it and recommended getting a matching tyre.
- I declined and changed swapped the fronts onto the rear. (The rears are identical with identicall wear) Same pull issue, so should rule out the tyres being the problem.
- I then took the vehicle to a four wheel alignment centre who confirmed tracking was correct front to rear.
- Last thing I've done is take to my local garage to check for suspension damage or wear etc. and they could not find any issues.
SO is it that the tracking was not done correctly with the wheel not being centred or any other ideas?
