Pulling to the left
My 2010 disco 4 is pulling to the left, I’ve had the 4 wheel alignment done by Kwik fit it was out so they adjusted it, but it’s still pulling left, spoke to them and they’ve said to swap tyres around, anyone had any experience of this and have any suggestions?

If it’s been pulling for a while before the alignment, and the tyres have worn in that way, it will probably still do it after the alignment

My tyre place will not do 4 wheel alignment on a vehicle with unevenly worn tyres as they state the suspension bushes will be loaded and it will affect the readings. Also I had one car pulling to left and it was a faulty manufactured tyre on the front LH wheel . swapped it to the rear and pulling disappeared.

I’ve Only had it a couple of weeks so not sure how long it’s been doing it, it’s had a couple of new tyres on the back perhaps I’ll swap them to the front and see what difference it makes?

@bardley It does it on all surfaces at all speeds, it feels a little worse under braking

What make tyres?
I ask as I have had a couple of set of pirellis and once past half worn they seem to follow the camber of the road, the smaller roads/lanes are the worst.

If it’s worse under braking, then I’d suspect one or both the front lower wishbones are getting worn. If you get a clunk when you sharply dab the brakes, this back that up.
On the other hand, it’s a very heavy car and every one I’ve had has had a tendency to follow the camber of the road to a certain extent. Obviously difficult to confirm that one, unless you fancy a trip over the water !
