Rearing to the right

[Udai]

Hello all.

I've got quite a large rear off to the right when I let go of the steering wheel.

I know nobody is really keen on kwik fit, but they've done a wheel alignment twice, and balanced the tyres but the car still rears off to the right.

Any ideas?

Veering to the right may also be caused by the front right brake binding... is that disc getting abnormally hot?

Have you checked the tyre pressures since the problem began?

Is the car 'sitting' normally... not lower than usual in any corner?

I'll double check the corners, tyre pressures I check regularly as we do a lot of driving. I set this to 3.2

How would I check if the disc is getting hot? I'm not a mechanical guy but can get away with the basics.

Just hold your hand near the wheels after a drive, you'll notice if one is much hotter than the others.

They will all be HOT though, particularly the fronts, so don't go sticking your hand on the discs or anything, just feel the radiated heat.

Can you post up the results of the last alignment
