Car Pulling to the Left.
« on: 02 July 2010, 11:12 »
Just after some advice on this.

I have a 2006 gti .

Thought that it may be wheel alignment but that came back ok.

All wheels are balanced, but there is a slight rumbling noise as well as the pull to the left.

Could be a bearing, but just wondering whether anyone else has experienced this, possibly suspension bushes?

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like a wheel bearing.

Thanks for posting.

Yep I think its a possibility but would it cause that much pull to the left.

Car from new or secondhand?

It might be bent after a previous owner pranged it.
