Pulling to the left...

Hi, has anyone else got a vague steering feel at high speed and a slight pulling to the left at times? The steering wheel feels slightly of centre too (a notch or so too far to the right) but I have got a definate pull to the left (on 22" wheels so not sure if its just those?)

Any guidance greaty appreciated Thumbs Up 2010 5.0 Supercharged AB Stornoway Grey/Ivory

Maybe it needs a 4 wheel alignment. When I bought my last new one, it would track left really badly out of the factory, a 4 wheel alignment cured it. Discovery 4 HSE

Shocked Neutral

tyre pressures would be my first check, have you hit a kerb then the tracking might be out.. ... - .- -.

yep, checked tyres as first step, they were all OK. I'll talk to Dealer about alignment etc though, thanks for the feedback. 2010 5.0 Supercharged AB Stornoway Grey/Ivory

Does it occur on all types of road ie all the time ?

Could be the natural camber of the road combined with your natural sensitivity to a new car ?

Thumbs Up Where do you go after one of these . . . ?

The pulling occurs at all speeds if i was to take my hands of the wheel, but the severity does seem very camber driven, but even on a dead straight / little camber road it pulls gently to the left, nothing dramatic, but noticable. The vague feel seems worse at motorway speeds and is different to how the L322 felt (that was dead centre and felt very secure and positioned), there just feels like a bit of play that causes it to feel vague just off dead-centre, but as I say, the wheel does rest just to the right of dead-centre when the car is tracking straight ahead? 2010 5.0 Supercharged AB Stornoway Grey/Ivory
