Hi guys, i have a 1.4 sport and it pulls to the left when i let go of the steering wheel.
Ive only had the car a couple of months now and it definatly wasnt pulling to left when I bought it.
In the first couple of weeks of owning it somone left a dent in the drivers side rear quarter while it was parked. Im unsure whether this is connected but i'm slightly worried it's my rear beam but i'm unsure.
It only seems to pull when accelerating or when higher up in he revs?
e.g. when on motorway it will be sitting at about 3.5k and change lanes for me if I let go of steering wheel.
Sorry about the essay and thankyou for reading.

tyre pressures- check that they are even on the front either side and on the rear.

All cars are supposed to pull to the left slightly. It's the camber of the road that does it and apparently they're designed to anyway.

Yer ive had a Read through a few threads.
Ive checked tyre pressures, had tracking done.
It could be wheels, I will see when i get some new ones on.
Cheers for help guys.
Seems strange how it only pulls when I let go of steering wheel and when in higher revs or accelerating though?
The gear box is on the left side so this could cause it a little bit, just seems to be pulling alot.

gearbox wont cause it, like has been said the camber of the road doesnt help,
what you need to do is go to a quiet long road and drive smack down the middle of it so you can properly find out how much it is pulling.
