Steering/wheel alignment issue?
Hi all,
I did a search but couldn't find much info on this. I bought a set of 08 wrx rims for my gc8, they had very little tread left on them when I put them on, and the steering would pull to the left, when the guys at STechnic did my STi drivetrain conversion they did an alignment do we assumed it was uneven wear on the tread from the previous owner that was causing the issue. I have recently put brand new set of tyres on and had an alignment done today, this did not fix the problem. When the steering wheel is straight the car pulls left, so I have to hold it slightly turned right to drive a straight line. Before I ring up the tyre place and ask them to re-do the alignment, is there anything else that could cause this issue? I thought it was only an alignement issue that could cause this? |

What size rim are they? I just chucked 18x8 on my gc8 and mine slightly pulls left, not by much but it didn't before I put new rims on.

Wider tyres= more rolling resistance car more likely to follow camber of road.
Only guessing |

it could be your castor... usually when doing an alignment, most places will set the castor for the left front wheel a little forward to stop it following the camber of the road. Go to a specialist alignment place and see how you go... either Wheels World as above, or Wilkinsons (where I go)
