Oh ok. Ummm how do ur lower control arm bushers look? Ur tiers are the same size / brand. I was a wheel aligner a bob Jane for a few yrs and with such a small light car the slights thing will fight it off the road. Bearings? Brake pads not rubbing ? Ur shock isn't shaged and stuck in a slightly lower possi? Sounds like one of those annoying ones mate. Keep at it

well the strut tops are opposite to what is pictured. But so are every Brumbys that I have looked at.

Swapped the front tyres over and it pulls to the right so there must be something up with the tyres.

Good to hear it's an easy fix. The rims are the same. Slight different offset?

a simple thing is always good and one of the last to be tried in many cases. Good stuff :)

sorry for the late reply but think i can shed some light here, tire pulls are very common in the industry, the wheel aligner should have checked that, check your tire pressures and make sure your tire has worn easily, the best way to fix the pull is make an adjustable\ camber/castor kit
