Hi all,
My 2.0 hdi exec estate pulls slightly left, and today I noticed the NSR tyre is nearly on limit markers after only 15k!
Any ideas please. PS all the front joints are OK as just had a bush replaced all checked and tracking done.
Thanks in advance. keithg

There is an adjustment on the rear suspension, when you had the tracking done was it just tracking or proper 4 wheel alignment? Also has the tyre worn evenly?

My estate has always eaten back left tyres, 15K miles seems about what I get. I always put it down to my driving style and the fact that in the UK we turn right a lot more than we turn left :?

Hi thanks for your reply.no it wasnt a four wheel alignment just the front. I didnt realise that the rear could be tracked. I was only p****d about the miles as the OSR tyre is only half worn and I used to get loads more miles from my 405 estate and yes it has worn perfectly evenly.

I had the same problem wore a set of tyres out in no time. I had a 4 wheel alignment done last month cost 60 quid uses high Res cameras the back tyre on mine were wearing on the inside edge it only took a couple of weeks for them to end up up useless its definately worth the money

Could also be a knackered bush or even a defective brake :?

Thanks for your help all,
Ill have the bushes checked first but as it has just passed the MOT I thought it would be OK there.
I suppose Ill have to wait till the tracking is done to see if that cures the slight left pull, its a good car otherwise but I dont want to spend alot on it until I know that it has stopped the left pull because although only slight it is annoying.
Is it only Peugeot that can do the 4 wheel tracking?
Thanks for the brake advice Steve I am about to fit new discs and pads on the rear this may show something up.

There are lots of places that have 4 wheel alignment gear, but a lot don't go to the trouble of setting it up well, using it well or training the staff properly.

It's a bit of a trek to Brentwood from Kent, but if you're North Kent and want somewhere trusted, I can recommend here: www.skidmarquesltd.com/

That said there should be someone near you.
