| Tendency of pulling left
Question : My
Waja uses a low profile tyre 205/50/R16. Recently I had it
aligned and its camber adjusted. However, while driving, the front wheel
still pulls to the left even when I maintain the steering wheel in central
position.
Answer : It could be a tyre problem and it could be also camber.
This is a problem that seems to rear its head occasionally due to the
crowning of the roads in our country and other tropical countries. You will
notice that our roads are higher in the middle than at the sides and while
it is good for draining off water from the road surface, sometimes vehicles
have a tendency to wander to the left even though all suspension setting are
according to spec. Sometimes by swapping the tyres around it helps, or if
the car has adjustable camber, having asymmetric settings for the camber on
the front can do the job. You need a good alignment man to work on this if
the wandering is really irritating you. |
