Slight pull to left

[paulfoel]

Only recently noticed this on my 2001 A class...

Seems to pull ever so slightly to the left. Nothing major - just seems easier to turn left than right.

Also, if I'm turning on a long sweeping left I can point the car and the wheel will stay as it is and maintain the turn. Not so for right.

Checked tyres pressures etc. Any ideas?

Swap the two front wheels over first to see if the tyre is at fault.

Thanks. To be honest, new tyres needed shortly so I might just wait until then.

Of course, that doesnt rule out problems with the actual wheel, does it? (unlessI do switch them over).

One thing though - and just trying to work this out in my head - what if the tyres are directional? You cant switch wheels then can you?

No you're right. Can't switch directional tyres.

Have the tracking checked when the tyres are changed
