Default Pulling to the left!

Hi,

Just put a set of wr1 PFF's on my 03 sti? However I seem to have a problem with the handling. The car seems to be pulling to the left. Anyone else experienced such a problem after fitting PFF7's on their STI?

Check the tyre pressures are equal both sides

And that the tyres are not directionals.

Also, the balance of the near side wheels.


If it is still pulling it is geometry (Get all 4 wheels aligned), aggravated by the extra grip. All cars will pull to the left on some roads as they are sloped down to the drain at the side.

Hi mate,

I had the same problem, just got a set of genuine pff7's and the same thing happened...

I was told to set all 4 tyre pressures to 32 psi ...

I tried this and 34 psi front 32 rear and there was no difference in it, I have just had my wheels 3d aligned today and it has made it much better, but it is just about there..

It seems to be the road surface has a lot to do with it, bumpy roads especially... I didnt notice it on my 17'' wheels but now on 18's its just about there...

get your 4 wheel alignment checked.. it will help..

try JPS Motorsport, Milton Keynes that is who done my 3d alignment..

Andy
