Car pulls left

My car pulls a bit left, i've tried everything: tyre pressure, i've had all the wheel angles adjusted and it still pulls. What can it be? I hope it's not something serios and expensive to fix....

Try swapping the front wheels and see if it pulls the other way. Could be a bad tire.

Didn't think about that...thanks, i'll try it asap. I-m on the winter tires now so they may have gone bad after keeping them in the shed for 10 month.

It would take a lot longer than 10 months of storage for a set of tires to go bad.

I would say it takes like 1/4mile - 0.5km to change lanes

It doesn't pull while accelerating , or maybe i don't feel it then due to the blistering wild acceleration i only feel it when coasting or maintaing my speed

I have the oem brake pads and disks all done at the dealership because of the warranty...which is over for only a few weeks.


PS: excuse my spelling mistakes

while you're at it, you should check to see if your tire wear is even. my car pulled also and it ended with a need for a re-alignment and a flat tire with wear all along the inside treads.
