eyup ppl avin car trouble!
ages i had a new joint fitted to the passenger side and it still pulled afterwards garage told me to get wheel tracked, somebody else told me it was already tracked.. anyway i left it and it pulls to the left slightly. i have always put up with it was looking other day and inside of tyre is slightly worn, and there is a scraping noise when u drive, if i turn to left it stops? the wheel looks to be catching on the inside metal arch as it looked worn and i could see shiny metal.
what could it be?
thanks

it'll either be your tracking or just the tyre rubbing on the inner wing when on full lock (if your runnin 16's, 17's or bigger wheels)

its not the inner wing, the others dont rub, its 17" never had a prob with rubbin b4, sounds like the tyre grating the metal arch bit. could be tracking but i doubt it

its you trackin cos the wheels sitting to far toed out which is causing tyre wear and the rubbing, head to ya local fast fit and get it checked, should be free for a check and about £25 for the tracking

if its only pulling slightly to the left then dont worry about it, most cars pull to the left to avoid accidents with oncomming traffic should you pass out at the wheel.
(according to my local vaux garage anyway!)
