Recommended Posts

99 1.9tdi Galaxy. Seems to be pulling to the left all the time and a slight judder through the steering column under braking.

 

I have been assured by local tyre company the tracking is fine, recently had the track rods replaced.

 

Can anyone help ?

hi boom ,

 

possible disc as ivor said , but seized calliper would cause this also + cause warped disc

My 98 TDi Alhambra has developed an annoying tendency to drift left since I changed tyres, meaning I need to keep pressure on the streering wheel to keep it in line.(No brake problems).

 

After much thinking and consultation...

 

In my case... either its a slight mismatch on front tyres (one side got the unused spare, the other a new tyre) - if I could be bothered to swap tyres I could test this theory....

 

Or the camber settings on the suspension are slighty out, on the continent, where the road cambers to the right, the vehicle drives straight. i.e. The suspension is pretty sensitive to road camber changes.

 

Maybe my son has kerbed it at some stage....

 

Dealer wanted just a few hundred
