golf pulls to the right?

[fraser87]

iv had problems with my car puling to the right, it needed new top mounts so i got them changed and a fps wheel bearing needed changed and then i got the wheels balanced and it seemed ok for a while then it started to pull again, i need to get the tracking checked but just wondered if there was any other things it could be?
its quite annoying as the steering wheel shakes a little aswell.

any help would be much appreciated

tracking out will make make it pull to the right, maybe you lost a wheel weight after having them balanced

Steering wheel shaking suggests wheel balance.

the weights are still there as iv checked them. i will try get the tracking done asap but wasnt sure if there was any other reason why it would do this.
i nailed some pot holes back in december and thats when i needed the top mounts changed, its been trouble on and off since then.

The weights might be there but you may / should get the balance checked.

i will get the tracking checked first as i can get it checked for free. had the wheels balanced twice in the past 3 weeks, the twits put knock on weights on my alloys which looked awful and it didint seem to sort the shaking out so got another guy to rebalance them and put stick on ones on and that stopped the shaking. if i go round again they will think im taking the p*ss or i have wheel balancing ocd. lol

but i suppose if the tracking doesnt work them wheel balancing it is

Yes unless you have a buckled wheel.

You should also check wishbones, ball joints, droplinks etc. Just make sure that everything looks ok under there.

Check if the offside front or rear brakes are binding, tracking will not cure pull to left or right, if the struts have been out to do the top mounts then its likely that the camber has been upset. Mis-matched camber on each side is the usual cause of pulling one way or the other.
