At 80mm, will it ever truly drive straight and not pull? Or am I being naive thinking it'll drive normally at this ride height? Ignoring the various things than can cause pull like bushes, damage, tyres etc.
Had my Transporter a couple of years. Camper Converted. SoLow NSL dropped half way down with ride height within 5mm. Full front and rear adjustable powerflex bushes. New wheels and tyres.
I don't think I truly knew what I was getting into when lowering it ~80mm, I was aware I'd need rear bushes to sort the toe out, fronts to sort caster (mine had an annoying shake at 70mph before fitting them). Had multiple wheel alignments done (I think 5 in total as well as my own string alignments, with and without bushings with the rear bushes being done first, then the fronts later), final one done by Bognor which is the best I've had so far (I'd not take my van elsewhere now as they were great). But it still pulls to one side slightly, although steer ahead on a straight, flat road is bang on (but still has a pull, im guessing caster as the reading it now uneven oddly).
When this low, is trying to get caster, toe and camber into reasonable, even specs actually possible? Or do i need to raise the van up to 70mm, or replace the suspension entirely with something else that isnt as low.
I see the comments from those that have lowered this much 'drives great' etc but does it actually? maybe I am too used to a tack sharp GR86?
Anyone gone this low and then backed out to something higher?
