Hi all I recently sold my captiva and bought a 07 sv6 nice car issue I have is that it's on yellow lowering springs all round but when looking from the front of the car the passenger side wheel (camber) looks fairly normal however the drivers side has plenty of negative camber, and my steering pulls quite bad too the left, can this be a bad tie rod end, here in NZ the last wof it failed on a left hand tie rod end so I'm presuming the right side one has not long failed after the left one? Any help on how to diagnose what's broken and causing bad left pull

The tierod end won't be the cause of the camber issue...

The pull you're experiencing is due to the excessive camber you're referring to.

When you replace the tierod end, get an alignment done and they should adjust the camber and solve the pull you're referring to

Camber adjustment is done via an 8MM headed bolt located in the centre of the stub axle pushing against the strut base
