My XK (x150) Coupe 2006 pulls to the right.
I've already had the car aligned several times. Unfortunately without success. What else could the reason be?

Who did the alignment, a Jaguar dealer or a tire shop? If it was a tire shop, I'd take it to a Jaguar dealer and have them inspect the entire suspension before aligning it again. Your XK is 14 years old and rubber bushings dry out and crack over time and other components could be bent or worn, which would prevent a perfect alignment. If the suspension isn't properly sorted, you're wasting your money on an alignment.

Probably that ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ but a small chance of either dragging brake on the right or a bad wheel bearing. I doubt it, but if all else fails........

Better to be in The Netherlands with an XK that pulls to the right than to be in the USA where the Democrats pull to the left!



P.S., written after I read Sean W's post. My apology for offending anyone, but my intent was simply to poke fun at US politics and make you laugh, and not to take any political position. I knew some of you would take it the wrong way, so that's why I put the 'duck" Smiley at the end. I thought you would get it, but I was wrong. A day without laughter is the beginning of the end, so lighten up and laugh.

Can we all PLEASE leave the politics to the political threads in the general section? PLEASE!!! Left, Right, Center. I don't care. Just go out there and take your shots. I'm sick of it. I'm tired of it. It's everywhere. This is our safe haven from politics.

When I first bought mine it pulled a bit. I was going to get an alignment done but I needed tires first. When the new tires were fitted, it tracked straight. Still does. Maybe check the tire wear?

Try swapping wheels from one side to the other, one at a time unless you have directional tires.
