On my old van (which had been kerbed a couple of times and hit some hefty potholes) the steering always pulled to the left even on roads with adverse camber. The tyre wear was also uneven so when I took it in to have the tyres replaced I got them to check the tracking which they did. Afterwards the van still pulled to the left so my question is could it have been that the tracking was correct ie the toein was set up but the steering was not centralised, so the power steering was offset so in effect they were fighting each other?
I don't have a great understanding of power steering systems so this is only a query not a theory!
Plus it's for information only now as I have replaced the van.
power steering is actually only power assisted steering so it only actually does something when you turn the wheel no matter what position the wheel is in
