This could be something, it's been sat for 5 months and I didn't inflate the tyre before I left.wurlycorner wrote:Check the tyre pressures
I think I'll just put up with it for the couple of days before I take it down to PAW for it's alignment and see what Rich says. The alignment shouldn't be too far off, as the locking nut on the inner tie rod wasn't moved, so the track rods should be exactly where the old ones came off from.

could be the suspension had settled to one side and that it will improve hopefully the more you drive it
reason i say this is that when i park my lude on road with a steep camber you can feel the suspension has settled to one side the next day when driving it - it does take a few miles to settle down again - god knows what it would be like if i left it like that for 5 or 6 months

Almost certain now it's the alignment.
Just been out for a drive to get some fuel, and I'm getting tyre squeal at relatively low speeds - from left side when turning left and right side when turning right - and when parked up, it does look like both wheels are toeing out slightly.
Think I'll get under it and adjust them in a little to make it a bit more driver friendly, then Rich can work his magic on Monday!
