General Tracking

[thebigm]

Recently had my tracking done at ATS, I assumed it would of been correct since its all done by lasers. However driving the car it still pulls to the left, but now the steering wheel is off to the right - this wasnt the case before i had my tracking done.

Is it a problem with my tracking still or another underlying problem?

Thanks..

They messed it up take it back.

P.S. it would seem GP's do pull left slightly, they seem really keen to follow even the slightest road camber....

I had my tracking done twice, at National Tyres. Turns out I had a knackered offside ball joint, which they failed to spot. Got this replaced and it was a lot better, but it still pulls to the left but I no longer have to steer heavily to the right to correct it (just very slightly). It depends on the camber, as Ffoxy said.

Did you watch them track it ? I was done once at my local formula 1 garage, went in to have it tracked. Just as they put it on the ramp they called me away to pay for it by the time i got back they said they had done it. Three days later the car had to go back to a friends of a friends garage for more work, he told me they hadn't tracked it there was no marks where a spanner had been put on and the car was still wasn't any where near tracking true.

Lession leaned, always watch work being done if you don't know the garage.

I understand that it will probably always pull to the left cause' of the road camber but it's the fact that my steering wheel is turned off to the right slightly while veering off to the left

They havent kept the steering wheel centred while they have adjusted it. Take it back as tracking will be out if the wheel is doing that. Personally i would never use somewhere like ATS, kwik **** etc to track a car.
