My '95 (M) Turbo seems to be pulling left even when in the centre of the roa(to avoid camber) and at the end of a line of braking it tugs marginally left. The tracking has been checked and I was told it was fairly well out but is sorted now, so why does it still pull left, (it has reduced since the tracking check).

I have had the same problem before now, it turned out to be a partially seized brake caliper piston, check you have free travel and see if the temperature of that brake is higher than the o/s set. The problem appeared on mine after renewing the front pads.

I had this problem too and found that it was the camber setting of my nearside front. (Almost leaning outward at the top)

Despite being within Subaru tolerances and therefore not picked up in a PDI, it still needed attention.

£50 later and an hour on a laser geometry machine had everything running lovely..
