Just bought my first omega!
« on: 24 August 2016, 18:51:18 »
Hello everyone, just purchased myself a lovely omega, 2.6l v6 cdx. Absolutely thrilled with it and consider it a bargain at £950. Was in very good condition with only 111k miles on the clock.
Everything seems flawless but I do notice a slight pull to the left when driving. I push down on each corner to check for a decent spring back on the suspension and I felt happy with it so I'm going to put it down to tracking for now. Shall be having a Machanic friend checking the whole car over. However I'm overall chuffed with my purchase! Love the power! Any advice from veterans?

regards your pulling prob, Check the simple things first if you haven't already done so, Tyre pressures, tyre size and tread wear. You'll be amazed what a couple/few psi or mm tread difference will do across the axle.

Agreed with the above, check the basics, though full geometry setup and replaced front suspension is the norm, to save in the long-run save money by eating through tyres.
