Tracking or alignment?

[noselittle]

I clipped a kerb earlier trying to make space for someone coming the other way up a narrow street. Since then 've noticed the car drifting to the left. Is this an alignment or a tracking problem and is it easy to sort out? Rough cost if so? Thanks

yes it well be,get it checked out,otherwise it could create uneven wear on your tyres

You've probably bent the track control arm/wishbone or some part of it thereof. It will cause uneven tyre wear and is best to get it sorted.

I was barely moving when it happened. I think the wheel just slipped off the kerb. Where will be best to go to get it done? I went to National to sort tracking on my old car and when they'd done it still went left as much as it used to.

We have a company called Protyre locally who have an area where you can watch the work being done .There is a computer display to show exactly where tracking if off , and by how much too.You can see this display while the work is being done too. May differ from branch to branch - looks an expensive bit of kit!
