Rover 75 Pulling to left - mrmender
Hi all have noticed my 75 cdti tourer is pulling to the left especily at low speeds also outside edge of tyre the wear is not consistant with the tyre being about 1/2 worn
Purchased the car this time last year with just 16000 miles and had 2 new fron tyres as the originals were worn out.... normal?
I've had the tracking checked all ok and tyre pressures were normal too
Mileage now 27000
Any ideas anyone

Apparently Rover 75's have a reputation for pulling to the left. In truth it is more likely that as the tyres wear they become much more camber sensitive. (If you can, try driving on the right hand side of a quiet road and you'll probably find it pulls to the right). Go to www.mg-rover.org and click on "Ask the gurus" in the left hand column and/or search on "pulling to the left". You'll find it well covered here.

Try swapping the front wheels/tyres and see if it then pulls to the right. It may be down to the individual tyres.
