Pulls to the left at speed , more so with heavier load

Hmm not that I am aware of, no history of any accidents. There does look to be respray on the rear bumper but no visible crumple or repair underneath or any of the body work when insulating and sound proofing. Nothing pointing to any major impact. Is there any checks you can recommend to rule this out as the laser alignment showed everything to be square and true

Car vertical will tell you if there has been any accident history on your van. Their reports are very in depth.

My T6 was exactly the same steering angle to go in a straight line, as is my 6.1 as was the 6.1 loan van I had when in for a service.

Snap, mine too and it’s been Hunter aligned. When I am in a non camber road it’s gone.

I have accepted it’s there now.

This the kind of compensation I have to apply View attachment 170076

Both my T4's, my T5 and T 6.1, and numerous other T4's, T5's T5.1's and a T6 I've driven all steer/ed to the right to go straight on. No difference whether empty or loaded.
If the wishbone bushes are shot, you can steer these vans using just the throttle!

Mine is the same.

For three years I have had to drive like this. It isn’t really noticeable around town, but on the motorway a constant pressure is required to the right, holding the wheel straight or letting go will result in it pulling into the gutter.

I have had three alignments over the years and three inspections. One when I first got the van from the dealer, again after clutch flywheel etc done and subframe removed. Then a full arm / bush inspection at a vw / audi specialist, an alignment again with a performance specialist along with full Subframe, arm and bush inspection after I fitted the coilovers. Even though alignments are in the green, the van always results in it pulling heavily with the camber.

If I drive on the opposite side of a quiet road it will pull right.

I just AGAIN had my VW / Audi specialist inspect all front end bushes, arms and components while it is in for its annual service. They called to say subframe, arms, bushes etc all look good. The only idea they can offer is to try swapping tyres.

There is nothing more I can do. It is annoying as I feel like the van should go straight and require no pressure against camber, but after countless several alignments, and multiple inspections by seperate specialists, and reading all the threads on this and other forums it is clear some transporters seem to just have this issue.
