I have an Eunos and ever since I got it the steering pulls slightly to the left. I have had the wheel alignment done and it did not cure the problem. I know the drivers side has recieved a new wing as it had a slight bump before I bought it. Is there anything to look out for or should I just replace the whole strut?

did the alignment shop give you a print out of the "before" and "after" ?
post up this if you have it
have you checked tyre pressures ?
swapped tyres from left to right ?
does it always pull left ? or is it dependent on road suface / camber ?
does it pull left in the wet ?
how far left does it pull ? a slight wander or a lane change ? if you let the steering wheel "go"

Are the tires new?

car has original tyres on from I bought it, doesn't seem to matter what pressure I put in them it still pulls regardless of the road or weather conditions! If I let wheel go it will change lanes in a matter of seconds. I havn't changed tires from side to side and the guy who done the alignment didn't give any printouts.

It could be a bad tire. It's fairly common for a tire to cause the car to pull and not make any noise or vibrations. Cross your two front tires, if it pulls to the right one of your tires is bad. You then will have to rotate them one at a time to the rear to figure out exactly which one is bad.

so for all you know he didnt touch the car and you still paid for a service.

I watched the guy do the alignment and he has done different cars in the past so I know hes ok. I will switch tyres to see if that helps. Thanks for the advice!

I got this done today but the car is still pulling. Tyres look good with no uneven wear. Check out the red bit on the final values. Could this be my problem? I didn't get to read this untill I had left the tyre depot

that's the caster...odd they don't match...odd the numbers on the left they were able to achieve....ever hit a curb?

It's been pulling since I bought it. What should I change to rectify it?

go to a different alignment shop ?

and at the next one
sit in the car or have the car ballasted to your weight by sandbagging on the drivers seat - if you sit in the car SIT STILL
insisist that the castor is equalled - unless theres mchanical damage preventing it
