Geometry setup help
Ive had a crabbing s2000 which would pull one way when accelerating and pull the other way when taking my foot of the accelerator. So Ive had my alignment setup, but was unable to get it fully setup due to seized camber and caster bolts! I have the measurements they have setup below.

You probably have a sticking brake caliper.

Sounds like a caliper to me as its exactly what mine done when it needed a caliper
|
Great! Another expense! Lol. If it is a sticky caliper are repair kits available for them?
And I guess a sticky caliper is causing uneven tyre wear on my tyres? Or was that just bad alignment that I had before I had it readjusted? |
There are calliper repair kits available, go to trade section and ask for a quote. But before buying anything I would compare the brake pads (left set vs right set) to see difference. If your calliper is sticking, there should be more pad wears on one than the other.
You mentioned that you were unable to get it full setup because of the sized bolts. Personally I would sort that out first before looking at the brakes. |
If be sorting out the sticky caliper first! Not safe having a binding caliper, and the geo is 'ok' for now.

As MB say's the GEO settings although out are not enough to give you any pull under power on and off, I'd be looking else where first, sticking brake, Tyre's, shocker, compliance bush, quick check look at the colour of your disc edge's to see if one is a different shade to the others,
