Pulling to the left!!!!!

[mazza]

Hi all...just changed a cv joint on the near side ,didn't have to take off any ball joints as there was room to pull the wishbone down enough to take it out. Put it all back together, drove Home noticing a pull to the left!!!! Could the tracking now be out even though I didn't touch anything to do with it? Cheers all and happy New year!!x

yeah thats possible. the fact is that if youve changed the cv joint the old one was pretty knackered, and the new one was a bit of a squeeze in, meaning you'll have effectively moved the hub outwards, pulling it around from the track rod end.

Sounds about right...cheers for the reply mate! Happy New year.
