My dad is currently overseas .... so his Kompressor was available. I have always got a spare key since he got the car. So I took the opportunity today to give the car a good run .... my dad is one slow driver. [shakehead]

 

Anyway, I realised the car is pulling much to the left .... so I decided to give him an IDD call and asked whether he did any rotation ? He said he just did it with alignment somemore before he left. [nod]

 

Now why is the car still pulling to the left ?? [nosebleed][nosebleed]

 

Tyre wear problem ?? [confused][confused]

Check tyre pressure. Could also be the overall steering set up. Should bring to the shop to check properly. Not good especially if have to slam brakes hard.

tyre pressure, tyre wear....lots of problem. but double check with him again, got a feeling that during rotation, only balancing was done.....no alignment done

Reason why I post this problem here is I have never experienced this with the Kompressor. But then again, I havent driven this car for the past 3 months. [dead]

 

Checked the receipt left in the dashboard ... confirmed, alignment and rotation was done and charged. [rifle]

 

The pull can only be felt at 90 kph and above only. When you let go of the steering wheel, the whole steering shifts to the left and the car swerves to the left. [bigcry]

 

Funny manz !! [whip]

I had the same problem. Pulls to the left from >90km/h. But after sending my car for servicing and then rotation and balancing. Its back to normal again.

 

Try setting tyre pressure to 220 all round...what tyres is he using ?

Wah I cannot remember what tyres but I think its Bridgestone or Firestone ... something with a STONE .... [laugh][laugh][laugh]

 

Ok since another Kompressor facing same problem .... I'll try to run and set pressure to 220 all round and see how. If not ..... kena re-do alignment. [shakehead]

 

But Dad's car ... cannot claim alignment charges liaozzz [bigcry][bigcry]

Err..Bridgestone and Firestone...these are 2 very different stones hor. You wouldnt want the car to become a rolling stone you know ! sweatdrop.giftongue.gif

 

Make sure the tyre pressure is even and check for the tyres for any uneven wear also. nod.gif
