Haha, if your steering wheel is on the right hand side, then it's right hand drive.

Get under the car and have a look up behind the subframe (where your feet would usually be when driving) you'll see it easily enough.

Life is like a skid mark on a toilet bowl.  Sooner or later someone\\\'s going to pi$$ you off.

Is yours power assisted? You should be able to tell from the pics if it's ZF or TWR.

Are your top mounts ok, they can cause a bit of wandering, have you checked your springs, sounds daft maybe but the obvious is sometimes the last we check!  :laugh: If the mounts are worn out a bit the nut and washer will be protruding upwards a bit and the rubber will be badly cracked, the springs may only be worn one side, maybe the shocker!  :rolleyes:

funnily enough, mine is suffering from exactly the same problem after the garage replaced a front wheel bearing... i bet they were heavy-handed and knocked the camber/tracking out, as the car pulls to the left and wanders slightly. they have agreed to sort it free though  :smiley:


I don't think a semi will give the same results
