Please do not crucify me for asking a question that I am certain has been asked before.
Having performed an alignment 3 times, the car still pulls to the right, I am wondering if there is a trick that you guys use to make the car go straight. On the last visit to the alignment shop, he dialed in more Caster which appears to cure the problem somewhat, it is still not perfect, but better than before. I can publish the latest readout, but only if I know how
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Cheers.

Well I've had lots of alignments done. It was not until I was about to lemon my vehicle that Land Rover assisted the dealer with the alignment. I don't recall all the specifics but the alignment has to be done with a full tank on gas(have no idea why). The suspension set to what they call diagnostic mode. I believe locks the suspension in place.
That did solve the problem. The technical bulletin is posted on this site some about the exact procedures.

The car has to be electronically set in tight tolerance mode. Then the alingment has to be done. Then the car has to be set in normal mode again.
The dealer could do this for you but also Faultmate and probably other electronic gadgets. Roel
