Bracket...
New P/S rack in TTNancy as of yesterday...can't even tell she had underhood/fender surgery.
New alignment seems good, but it edges just a tad to the right. Had tires rebalanced afterward...smooth as butter to 120.
Any clues as to what to look for here on the right drift/pull?

Re: Bracket...
The only thing that crosses my mind here is misadjusted camber. Usually, toe-in, toe-out problems will result in worn tires, but not so much a pull per se. Caster is not adjustable in these cars. Audi states that individual camber is not adjustable on these cars, but this is not the case. There is a slight amount of camber adjustment available at the 3 nuts on the lower control arms. The approved method is by shifting the subframe side to side until cross-camber is within spec.
So my best guess is a cross-camber issue.<p>Jason Dale

Check the tire pressure, I'm not kidding...
I had a slight drift in my 180FWDTT and I would keep a 1lb pressure difference in the front tires. The softer tire will direct the car in the direction of the softer tire. -Pete<ul><li><a href="http://www.stratmosphere.com">Stratmosphere TT Accessories</a></li></ul>

Ck'd already...each at 33...maybe I'll kick the right one up a notch to see....
Thanks for the thought.
Is 33psi a good cold pressure for the stock 040 Bridgestones?
I generally run 34/35 in my MXV4As on the A6

I find running a little less in the rears, 2 pounds or so is ideal...
however, I that was with Mark I suspension. I have not done any stupid air pressure tricks since Mark II.<p>Ivan
