My 1996 T4 2.4D has been pulling to the left for a while now and has been scrubbing the outside of the passengers side front tyre. There was occasionally also a slow wobble coming through the steering wheel this was worse at low speeds.
I have since replaced the ball joints on the top on both sides and the lower one on the passengers side, this has helped with the pulling to the left problem, although it does still pull to the left it is only say 70% of driving time compared the 100% previously. The steering wheel still feeds back a slow wobble at slow speeds, and I haven’t done enough driving to know if it is still scrubbing the passenger side tyre.
I have had the tracking checked which was fine.
My next thoughts are to check that the wheels are balanced correctly but other than that I’m running out of ideas.
If anyone has any thoughts or has experienced a similar problem I’d be grateful for your input.
Many thanks
John
