Xm coupe Member 24 Member For: 18y 1m 30d Posted 30/11/09 02:09 AM Share Posted 30/11/09 02:09 AM (edited) Hey guys got my car lowered on the weekend. SL in the front and SSL in the rear. I havent fitted a camber kit at yet and am running 245/30/20 (93W) all round.When they lowered it they gave it a wheel allignment but I found it is pulling to the left. I took it back and the guy said cause they are wide tires it is probably tracking, but I know what tracking is and this isn't tracking, its a definantive pull to the left. They had alook and said it aligned correctly. Any body else had a similar problem?

I made sure I got the wheel alignment figures before I changed my springs so as if needed they could be reset back to the original alignment as I know this setting doesn't pull or wear tyres.

Get them to check that - a very common thing for us here...

Xm coupe Member 24 Member For: 18y 1m 30d Posted 30/11/09 02:42 AM Author Share Posted 30/11/09 02:42 AM Yeah the steering wheel is off centre slightly but it more when I let go of the steering, even if the car is tracking striaght, once I let go instead continueing to tracking straight it will pull to the left every time.

Too bad you aren't around Sydney, we'd fix it for you!

They know there stuff there. I had mine lowered by these guys and they did a great job, no pulling either side and the steering wheel was off centre and they made sure it was fixed before I left.No issues at all.
