I've replaced the n/s/f shock absorber not too bad a job really and it drives much better, but now I'm finding that it's pulling slightly to the left which it wasn't before is this because it's a new one and it's stiffer than the drivers side or do I need to have it aligned

Took to garage today alignment way out just by putting a new shock on one side lesson learned do as a pair
mechanic said about my negative camber and that it doesn't look right he thinks that in the past it's had a part that isn't specific to the idea fitted i.e mk2 punto
 
Hi, apologies no-one has responded before now. Lesson learned as you say, any time you do anything suspension (or brakes for that matter) related always, do both sides of the axle or it'll be out of cock.

It's because we have been replying in his Body Roll thread where he has combined both questions ;)
