Description of problem:

Ok when driving my lil mini pulls to the left, also When turning left my front right wheel scraps on the wheel arch.

So i went out and measured from rear wheel centre to front wheel centre and the right front wheel was 2cm further forward then the left front wheel.

Just wondering what the problem with it? because i cant drive round with my front right wheel scraping wheel arch every time i turn left lol


anyway i appreciate any ideas on how to fix this,

Thanks,

usually it would be bent tie rod. this moves the wheel forward when bent

go and get your tracking checked

[icklemini]

it will be the tie-bars..

tracking can cause a few issues - making the car pull isnt one of them...

either that or it may be that either the front or rear subframe has taken a shunt and is slightly bent. ERic

well had a look tonight and looks like you guys where right it was indeed a bent tie rod, just bought replacements and my mini should all be fine soon.

Thanks,
