Start by replacing the top mounts if you haven't done so already - if they are the originals on a 2008 car they will likely be shot. Take care to fit them correctly or you will have camber issues. Then get a proper 4 wheel geometry check to make absolutely sure eveything is square - these cars are prone to rear wheel misalignment.

Did u get polly mounts in the end? Where did u get them and how much we're they. Did that sort the left pull for ya? Mine is pulling and I had 2 all wheel aliments done with everything looking good. Both garages tried the car and said that they feel little pull but couldn't work it out why as the aliment was good.
 
hi i replaced strut tops and put polly bushes in made the ride better but still have pull ive heard it could be a steering sensor or a battery even a steering rack their prone to pull to the left im fkn sick ive had geometry check 4 wheel and back wheel is still slightly out ..polly bushes i got em from revoloution performance center probly most expensive around but over the counter im too impatiant lol

Hi

Sorry to jump in half was through this, did I read right that you have had it tracked 4 times and the rear is still out? Is it one side or both? Have you been the owner from new as could of had a bump that has pushed the mounting points out or put slight twist on the arm had it with a lancia Dedra years ago the left rear wheel had stupid toe in after it got hit!!
Also with most roads they have a bit of camber in the middle to let water run to the kerbs so you always get a tiny amount of pull unless you run down the crown of Them, May get the poly mounts you have fitted, interested to see your feedback on them.
 
Plenty of folks have had new Pandas straight out of the factory with the rear geometry well out of limits - FIAT have replaced several out of true rear subframes under warranty.

This is one aspect of the manufacturing process where they need to improve on tolerances and QC.
 
yes well the polly mounts deffo improvement ,had tracking done twice 4 wheel alignment but back is defoo out i do think it could be axel im gonna ask fiat dealers to check it out as ive done all i can do im sick i love the car but this problem is making me loose interest in keeping it mines a ltd ed 100 hp too i now have abarthd it all up badges decals etc just waiting for my duplex exaust and abarth rims ,do you know what bulbs i cn use for the front without putting hid kit in 100w white bulbs ?????????????????
 
Get it to a decent tyre firm such as STS TyrePros. I had mine re-tracked at the other bozo's (Kwikfit) it made not a hoot of difference. At STS you can see the settings on screen in the waiting area and watch them wind things back to square. It now runs straight and square and only cost about £60. The rear is not adjustable but they can loosen the axle and get some movement. Enough in my case to get it within tolerance - just. Someone ought to ban Kwikfit from selling tracking as they patently cannot do it properly and do not have the right equipment.
