Pulls left after coilover fitting
-> 206 Problems

Hi All

Need some help !
ive had Prosport Coilovers fitted to my Gti 180, it now pulls left pretty sharpish.
It did pull left before on std shocks but the coilovers have enhanced this condition.
The tracking IS fine but i've noticed that the nearside wheel doesn't sit central to the arch.
I've thought and read on this forum that it could be a wishbone issue but only just noticed the wheel position issue.
Any advice and help much appreciated.

The thing is once the car is lower all the parts connected to the wheel and therefore the steering are at a different angle to what they were before, the driveshafts and wishbones etc will be at more of an angle than before. Hard to think what it could be

thanks for replying.
The car is only slightly lower, i'm also struggling to see what it could be.
trying to avoid replacing random parts on the off chance of fixing it.

Definitely a tricky one. There are a lot of different car forums on google that have similar issues here; www.google.co.uk/webhp...+coilovers

Check the arms ... The gti arms have stiffer bushes so if you have standard ones they tend to fail quicker.
