Shaunhastie Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Hi all, My fiesta is pulling to the right when accelerating, is this an issue if so what? Thanks Shaun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ticktock Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Yep, defo an issue, Obviously something steering related, I'd get someone to look at the tracking (about £40) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobr Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Could it possibly be a soft tyre? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Bloodaxe Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Not clear as to what model Fiesta you have or how long you've had the car - have you just got it and found the problem or have you had it a while and the problem just developed recently. You mention the problem occurring under acceleration, not uncommon for fwd cars to pull to one side under very hard acceleration but usually affects the more powerful cars driven hard As Bobr suggests, worth checking simple things like tyre pressures first, look for uneven tread wear while you're at it which might indicate the need to get your suspension checked out, as suggested by Ticktock. Other odd things I've experienced causing similar issues are loose wheel bolts (not tightened properly during dealer service!), and a very slightly distorted alloy wheel.

Shaunhastie Posted March 11, 2018 Author Share Posted March 11, 2018 (edited) Hi they are new tires and have been checked for alignment, mine is a mk 7 2011. Pressure are all at 32psi. Could it be the issue i have attached for the advisory? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YxbrjnhejoOBu_PmgFj8JiKxaUNC224u/view?usp=drivesdk Edited March 11, 2018 by Shaunhastie Url inserted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaunhastie Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 Also, i don't do hard acceleration just general speeding up on fifth gear for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Bloodaxe Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Can't access your file from my current device unfortunately - can you post a summary? Also, did the problem start after you had new tyres or was it there before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobr Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I have pulling problems but that's only to be expected now I'm in my 80s 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
