05 1.4 Car pulling to the left - backtodiesel
Had this car for a few months and love it but noticed that it seems to pull to the left (wheel has to be slightly past 12 o'clock position). I notice that the nearside front tyre is worn on the outside.

Will this be solved with getting the tracking done?

Get a four wheel alignment check while you are at it,make sure there is no wear in suspension components or trackrod ends first though.Find a good independant to do checks,my personal experience is that certain national fast fit outfits are not very good at this sort of thing.

Once the alignment is done replace the tyre either with a new one or swap it with a rear one otherwise it will still drift over to the side.
