pulling everywere

[jenk]

Is it just my ibiza or does everyones do it, a slight camber in the road and ur fighting to keep it strait. The only way to stop it is to drive in the middle of the road, which isnt really safe
Iv had my wishbone mounts (i think thats what they were) changed and that stiffened everything up a treat but it still pulls everywere.

Anyway to help this problem guys.

Cheers

how many sizes of wheel and tyre you gone up?found a bit of tramlining on my ibiza when i went up to 16's from ickle 14's.
car is just following the road camber/ruts

yeah mine does it too, the lefts the fave direction. Old 1.4 did it too its just accepted as an ibiza charcteristic. Makes things more fun though doesnt it

im running the 16"20vt wheels coming from 14" originals. To be fair when giving it some sport id say its an advantage, well exept in the wet.

wonder if the -30mm less track on the rear plays apart in it?

Go to a local tye fitters that have the spec machines that do 'camber' 'castor' adjustments.....it may be out..cost will be around 20 quid........but be safer and cheaper in the long run..tyres will last longer...............i got some rear spacers fro my mk2 cupra.....makes a difference...........it sits on the road better not as nervous...........the 'turn in' into bends is a little less resposive.....plus it looks a whole lot better!!

I was in really bad shape after lowering my car. Its camber and alignment was off, making the car pull to the right a lot.

After wearing my toyo prozies right down to the metal wiring in the rubber itself, i got 4 new michelan tyres and got the camber, wheel alignment, and tracking done for £30. Car drives great now, and actually is a better ride now than it was, in terms of shaking and bumping too.

Had my car set up to seat specs when the bushes were changed and tire wear is even so surely nothing major is out.

I dread to think how worse having the wide euro wheels im planning would make it

cheers for the replys guys

Put some more air pressure in the tyre. Mine is quite sensitive to a slight drop in pressure, got more tramlining putting 195's on my 15"s instead of standard 185's.

Part of the fun though

Jenk im liking your wheels mate, how much can those ones be picked up for these days ?

 

[jenk]

cheers mate, i brought mine for £180 off a fellow member. If u post in the wanted section im sure a mk3 owner has some kicking around

I only started getting tramlining when I lowered my Ibiza but I found that all cars will do it when they have been lowered.

my only tram lines when i put one brand of yokahama (<-spelling) on..

Try driving a Renaultsport Clio... you'll rethink tramlining and torque steer
