hi guys ive a problem with my 05 mondeo ive a set of 17'' alloys fitted to the car the last two years tyresize (215/40/17).the car needed 2 new tyres fitted on front so i went and got them but decided to go for (215/45/17) to make the ride a bit more comfortable but the car is pulling to the left(passenger side) even though the car has been tracked and they told me tracking is spot on but this problem has only occured since the new tyres have been fitted and even though the car is pulling to the left the tytes dont seem to be wearing out .would it be because of the different size tyres on front than the back? or worn balljoints/wishbone bushes?? i havent got the balljoints or wishbone bushes checked yet..
please help im pulling my hear out trying to solve the problem

the tyre size change wont affect it.did they check track or adjust it?some people only check front track, the correct way is to 4 wheel track as it may be the rears jst like supermarcket trolley syndrome.also it could be a worn bush or topmount and jacking the car to change the wheels has resettled in a different place,gheck the front lower arm bushes as they ware on that model,also on the mondeo the rear subframe bushes may have play usually picked up on mots.

Hi , Jack up front of car, loosen front wheel nuts, retighten wheel nuts evenly first nut then opposite nut, DO NOT fully tighten nuts right away but tighten gradually and evenly.
