Hi there, been using this forum for a few months but never really experienced something that wasn't widely discussed here already.
In November time I went into a car park after doing a u turn, whilst going into the car park my left tyre missed the dropped kerb and went straight into the curb (I wasn't being careful enough or slow enough)
I came back out to see my tyre has blew and I had to get a replacement, after the replacement I noticed my car pulling a bit so I went to halfords and had my tracking done, a few months later after only going round the corner to the local school I eventually realised my car is still pulling to the left (no straight roads to and from school).
I went and got the tracking done at a different place, it didn't fix the issue, took it back, they said it is because I have a different tread pattern on an odd tyre, they also put it down to the camber of the road, I eventually got my money back (And dashcam footage of the mechanic joyriding my car )
Third time lucky... I take my car to get the laser tracking at formula 1 and it tells me my camber is out so I got that fixed and it's still pulling to the left, I bought a new tie/track rod but two of my friends who have always worked on cars are telling me nothing looks bent and one of them said to not buy these things, of course I just want to try and fix the issue... At the moment it's like I am just going to have to live with this until I get a new car..
I've ran out of options, I've spoken with the two nearest vauxhall dealerships and they have both said their tracking machines aren't great, even though I've had my tracking done 3 times despite the second time being out still, I'd expect the 4 wheel alignment at f1 to not be out?
Such a huge nightmare, tempted to just throw my credit card at it.. (Because I have no money!) lol
I've been told it could be a whole different bunch of things and to replace the cheapest but I tried doing that and then told not to buy anything else..
One person mentioned a steering sensor? No idea. :roll:
Just been told by a garage they'll check my alignment free and if its out sort it then check a couple other alignments and if they need doing then looking at 102 quid, going there tomorrow.
