Hi there, thanks for reading.

I have a Nissan Largo Highway Star MPV 1996 2.0 TD, a great vehicle and has served me well....

Though I have noticed and this has gradually got worse that the the vehicle pulls to the left when driving on a straight road and I am getting uneven Tyre wear on the outside of the NSF tyre. So to drive straight I compensating by having a constant correction on the Steering wheel to the right.

Tyre pressures are correct and the vehicle pulls straight when braking, I have lifted the wheel and I cannot feel any play, and the AR Bar bushes seem solid too as do the AR Bar Link arms.

I have been in no accidents that would have caused any damage structurally either, as this has developed gradually.

If anyone has any thoughts on this or if any one is familiar with the Largo (overgrown Nissan Serena) it would be great if there any pointers to this...

Many Thanks Smile

You need to get this to a wheel alignment specialist and put it up on a hoist for a proper inspection. it could be just worn arm bushes or somthing more sinister like a crack or corrosion. If it has bad shoulder wear then somthing has moved and requires attention.

You most likely have a worn bush or ball jiont somewhere. A tracking ,caster, camber check would show some-thing.

Thanks for your thoughts there, it does need a proper look at, hopefully it is something not too sinister. Hopefully I will get to the bottom of it, sure when I do I will get back and let ya know..

A full suspension check and four wheel alignment is essential, and please take it to a reputable person and not to a fast fit emporium.
