Hilux pulling to the left

Post by kooze »

Hey guys had my 2002 dc sr5 for a while now and thought id take it in for a wheel alignment. Has been pulling reasonably hard to the left -Took it in and they adjusted it,was reasonably out. They also rotated tires .Problem is it still seems to pull to the left ,a noticeable amount. Beaurepairs noted this but mentioned they'd done all they could .

Anyone have any ideas?

Cheers! :D

check your brakes left hand side is probably slightly engaged even when you have your foot off brakes. see if the discs are square not tapered and even wear on both sides as this may mean one or more of your pistons are not retracting... hope this helps
