S80 pulling to the left

[k6chris]

Hi all - just joined as I have put down a deposit on a 2007 S80 2.4D SE (in Gold.... ). On the test drive, I noticed that the steering was pulling slightly to the left and that the offside front tyre was far more worn than the NS. The dealer is putting both of these right, but keen to get your thoughts / experiences as to what might have caused this and what the dealer migh / should have done to fix this??

Thanks

in 9 out of 10 cases like this it is the tyres , swap front tyres over and fault usually goes ... if not swap rear tyres to front ...

I had this issue, swapped tyres around and this improved it. so bought new tyres. see my thread here:

Iv always changed tyres in pairs. Either both fronts or both rears. The car steers better and brakes feel better too.
Just something to think about since its a new car to you.
