Ok so here's the problem. Purchased car, months later noticed a pulling to left. Front left worn more than right, decided to change both. problem still there only worse. Tracking tested slightly out, fixed. Still pulls to left, 4 wheel tracking, problem found with left rear camber, fixed. Purchased 4 new alloys because of a failure of 2 in mot. All felt good. Few months later front left worn more than right, and pulling to the left again. Decided to self diagnose......changed front tyres round, still pulls to left. Now 2 new front tyres and it pulls to left. Ruled out camber by driving (safely) on the other side of the road and it is mildly better. had it looked at twice by different garages and they both say there is no problem, and they've checked everything, front and rear. I have reported the same to both along with the information that when driving off curbs the suspension extends and makes a very hard knock as it hits the maximum extension of its travel. The other side does not make the same sound. nor do other v40's i have been in. Thank you in advance for any help. Spikey
