Thanks guys.

I checked the pressures myself so i know they are ok. It is on flat roads (motorway) and the round thing in front of me isnt the problem either

I also havent had LSD for years! (is that a different abbreviation? if so, i dont know it!)

I think i will leave it for a bit longer and hope it sorts itself out but i do want to get the geometry sorted out. If it is something that will sort itself, i would rather it do that before geometry rather than risk the geometry being thrown out if it "settles" itself after.

The doughnuts sound like the best idea - although my new tyres wouldnt like it!

I'll keep you posted.

Steve

might take 100 miles or so for the shine to come off the new tyres, they will be slippy till then which might explain the sideways feeling as the lsd moves the grip about to either side.

Mine was doing this on saturday, after I had had geo done (not immediately, it was great at first). Took it back, turns out the geo bolt on one side had worked loose and the one rear was toeing out, a lot.

Defo get rear tracking looked at if pressures are defo correct!

Probably the release agent on the tyres giving slightly different grip. Get a few miles on then and check the geo!

Worth checking the geo each time you do tyres IMHO!

I thought this at first but that would only explain pulling on acceleration and not the pulling on deceleration (not braking)

Anyway, i'll give it a week and we'll see.

Thanks for the LSD explanation.

Tyre pressure difference, measure with a decent gauge...
