mechsmurf 0 Posted February 16, 2008 no havnt had tracking checked to be honest its not like it pulls when coasting along or gives any signs that it could be tracking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,657 Posted February 16, 2008 that would be the first thing to get sorted, my 205 behaved atrociously when I first fitted a new steering rack, got the tracking sorted the next morning and it was back to normal (well better than before as the rack was shot) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
