It was me who wanted an MG Forum, why not! I have a new MG TF and whilst I am very pleased with it, its
pulling to the left constantly. My main dealer from where it was purchased has looked at it and cannot find
anything obviously wrong. They even admit that their demonstrator is doing the same thing. Does anyone else have this problem?

At the risk of being a little cheeky, you'll find a lot more MG owners at http:\www.british-cars.co.uk

As to your pulling problem ... has your dealer checked tracking, wheel balancing, and your steering rack, and tyre pressures? I'd have thought so, but you never know with MG/R dealers :-(

Yep, they've done all the necessary and agree themselves its pulling. I've been with them for a
few years now and the technician that looked at my
car has also been with them for years.

Don't forget shock absorbers, a dodgy one could also cause these symptoms.
I also remember years ago, a story doing the rounds that a stuffed or tired diff' could cause steering problems. I wouldn't really worry about the latter, as I haven't heared this story in years! It might be boll*$ks!

Colin,

Interesting comments about the shocks, I work for a
Jaguar/TVR dealership so will ask the guys in my
workshop to explain more!?! I've also had a comment
from another source that steering rack could be a problem?
