Unhappy Classic pulling left, alignment spot on

Hi guys,

Well since I bought my RB5 (light CatD front end) a few months ago it always slightly pulled to the left. I've decided to sell and had the front alignment checked at the ATS near me.

The guy said the front was pretty much bang on! He tried to adjust it but it seemed to stay the same (he took it for a quick drive)

He commented that the rear camber was out a bit and he would adjust that of I came back. Would the rear camber effect the car pulling left even when front is okay?

Not really up on suspension etc

Thanks

Arrrr right thanks for that! I'll try that

I don't actually think there's any point to the 'Help' sections on this forum. Probably all off arguing about Det cans and how **** VTA dump valves are.

Well I love my VTA dump valve & it runs great on it. The noise doesnt annoy me as I can't hear a thing due to my det cans which I ware at all times even when at home. Yes the rear being out can affect the front, but I'd start with the basics. Check tyre pressures & try swapping wheels front to rear or if non rotational tyres then side to side. If no luck with this get someone who knows what they are doing to look at it like a Subaru specialist, places like ATS are no good for setting up 4 wheel alignment on a Scooby.

How old are the tyres ? tyres can degrade internally and cause odd driving characteristics like pulling to the left or right and or vibrations etc.

Thanks guys. It's getting the rear checked Saturday now so if that doesn't help then I'll set my sights on the tyres
