Mk1 cabriolet veers to left?

Hi all, I'm new to this site. Looks like a handy site to know about!
I've recently purchased a mk1 Golf Clipper.
I have sorted out most of the problems with it, however there is the small problem of it wanting to veer left!
It looks like it has Speedline alloys fitted (15") and it looks like it has been lowered- though I'm not 100% sure on that.
I've had new tyres fitted on the front- rear tyres were fine.
Then I had the tracking done (which was out - slightly).
The steering is lighter now, but it still wants to go left!
Could the lowering have be the problem? or maybe camber adjustment? Any advice is appreciated, Cheers

Hiya, I'm no expert buddy but how long have you had the car? And what do you know about its history? Probably extreme but it could have been in an accident and had its chassis bent. Also is this under braking or just normal driving?

Not much help but it's a free bump.

Tian :wink:

Hi there, I've had the car for about a month, bought from it from a friend who had it for a year and he said it has always veered left.
I don't think it's been in an accident- bodykit looks original and bodywork / lines look untouched and the crumple zones look untouched.
It's just under normal driving conditions…… well all the time…
I can only think of trying the camber adjustment next…

Camber adjustment out and or different size wheels or tyres [yes it does happen] brake binding or accident damage .

Cheers Chudd, I reckon I'll check out the camber this weekend…. I'll update this post after I've had a tinker…..
