I have had my scoob coming up for 2 weeks at the weekend, and the past couple of days I have noticed it is pulling to the left a lot, especially when breaking. But the steering also feels quite loose (can't think of another way to describe it) when driving normally......... Has anyone else come across this can anyone help me ??????????

 

When you say the steering is loose I presume you mean you can rotate the wheel a inch or so in each direction without it actually turning the car?

 

Yeah I suppose it is like that. I probably wouldn't say an inch but yeah

 

Also check your tryes, look for uneven tyrewear and also check to make sure the brake on that side itn't 'biting' causing the car to pull. Try doing a rolling brake test as well, Find a fairly wide and empty road (don't want you crashing into someone), drive along about 30, loosen your grip complete off the steering wheel (but keep your hands there incase the car unexpectadly turns) and gently apply the brakes, then do the same thing but apply the brakes harder. You should find the car stays in a straight line but if it pulls and veers badly to the sides then there is something wrong. possibly the brakes/wheel on that side.

 

When I break gently it does pull a little to the left. When I break hard it pulls an awfull lot.

 

Maybe the brakes need bleeding....

 

Gav - I called you over the weekend to arrange to come and have a drive. Give me a ring on my mobile if you still want me to come round.
