Omega Owners Forum - omega is pulling to the left

donnabaldwin Newbie Offline Posts: 2 Drives: omega	omega is pulling to the left 18. Jul 2011 at 22:13 I have a 2003 2.2dti which pulls to the left all the time. It seems to be worse when there is someone sitting in the passenger seat too. Wheels and tires look fine. Is this a common problem that can be rectified or have i got myself a cut and shut????

Jul 2011 at 22:22 could be a few things from tyre pressure to bindding brakes or even the tracking. Start with the trye pressure.

Jul 2011 at 20:41 Thanks.checked the tyres, pressures etc the tracking is very slightly out but the adjusters are seized. Ill replace them and try again. Im worried ive bought a cut and shut because of this problem but it all looks original.

Nah that's almost normal. Have a look through the guide sections, wishbones steering idlers camber toe and set up etc etc, it's all there.

However, do nut just be satisfied with checking tracking. Check other settings as well. Theta more to it than that.

What's tyre wear like across the tread? Paying particular attention to the inside edge.
