Steering Slight pulling to the right

KNUCKLEHE8D · 15th September 2012, 21:41

Hi Guys,

Having a slight problem with the car pulling slightly to the right, rather strange though as it only does it sometimes, normally during slower driving. For example, if I am pulling up at lights, down to maybe 5mph, the car will pull slightly to the right, its not overpowering, it would only do it if I let go of the wheel.

I have had the wheels re-alligned, but I do know that the rear drivers side tyre is only just legal, so this needs changing. Also, 3 of the 4 tyres are budget, as they were the ones on it when bought.

Anyone have any ideas what this might be, it may be obvious, but I am very much a car rookie!

Cheers

Could be allignment, miss branded tyres, tyre pressures, or a sticky caliper, check the basics first pal and work from there

There's a poll on ctro I believe, which way does your car pull quite common I think, mine does it every so often.

This happened to mine after I had my wheels powder coated, they were incorrectly balanced. Got them done properly at a cost of £15 each corner.

60 quid to balance wheels
