Car pulling to the right

[eprokos]

I have an update and few things I forgot to mention. after the 2nd visit at the dealership and the alignment which I am uploading, they said, and my father who brought it back to me, verified, that the car was going straight. the problem was that it had the tire which had the screw but was fixed. the tire was changed to the new one and after that I took it for a ride. again going to the right.

now after the 3rd visit, which was on Friday, in which visit they told me that they have to replace the control arms, I just took it for a ride at the highway. The car is not going to the right. Maybe just a bit, but way way way less than before. If i did not know that it was going right beforehand I might not even notice it!!

one extra info is that the wheel seems to be +2 degrees in the trip screen while going straight. in order to go to 0 degrees I have to push it bit with my finger towards left. before that I had to push it to -2 degrees to go straight. and I know that they tried to calibrate the wheel in case the sensors were off -as they said-

one last information is that since delivery day , when I received the car the front right bumper is not in straight line with the bonnet. like it is misplaced. I told them, they agreed but they dont blame that for going right. but still, all the problems front right?!

I went today to an external wheel center. they did wheel alignment. they found camper/caster ok and they told me that the arm controls cannot be bent since they are getting right number. but they found the toe, way out of car specs!! when they fixed the toe to the factory specs, the car started again pulling to the right. so their opinion is that the steering wheel / eps system needs recalibrate and they advised not to change the control arms. On the other hand the local Porsche dealer called me and told that they already ordered 2 right controls arms (upper/lower) which is obviously a costly thing..

When you change the suspension alignment you should also do height sensor calibration and reset the steering wheel angle sensor - both are not possible to do outside of the official dealer network (at least not as of yet).

This may be the reason car pulls to the side after fixing the alignment.

Main question is - why was the toe out of spec after previous alignment?
You need to look at printouts from each alignment to determine what changed and when.
It seems similar to the issue I'm facing - it goes off immediately after tuning.

I spoke to them today. The toe that I found online was 0.05
they told me that the correct one is 0.12 and he was curious where I found the correct ones
(by the way, do we know the correct parameters?)
after that I told him that the steering wheel calibration shall be done after the mechanical wheel adjustment. then they suggested to take it there and do it again today.

they did calibration. again pulling to the right. not that much, but still..
