Title: Car veers left even after tire rotation and wheel alignment
Post by: snuffablescoopy on June 12, 2012, 03:49:18 PM

All, my ride was previously ok, able to travel straight with my hands off the steering.

But for the last ~ 2mths, it started to veer quite badly to the left (maybe 10-15degrees immediately after letting go of steering). Went Autobacs (Loyang) twice to do wheel alignment, it got better but still veers left (mayb 5-10degrees 3secs after letting go of steering). The mechanic told me that it's normal since no road is perfectly straight, but i don't recall my ride having such problems in the past 1yr.

I thought it was due to tyre pressure and tyre rotation, so i got my rims changed, tyres rotated and tyre valves changed. Still the same problem.

I didn't hit any kerbs, no accidents before.

Any bros out there can advise what could be the source of the problem?

Thanks in advance.

its ok bro, just don't know why swapping tyres from left to right and vice versa will solve your alignment problems  :confused1:
