I have often seen 'adjust the tracking' offered as a solution to 'pulling to
one
side' and 'one worn tyre', but doesn't changing the tracking alter both sides
by an
equal amount because of the castor effect? Isn't pulling and uneven wear
(between
wheels) caused by suspension alignment differences from one side to the other
caused by damage or incorrect assembly?
