Post Steering pulling to the side
When driving on flat road, the steering pulls a little to the right.
If the road leans to one side the steering pulls to that side, but this is normal?

The toe in/out is correct, I believe. Adjusted it, measuring with a home made contraption :roll:
Did no difference.

I'm thinking it may be one of the front arms that are bent slightly so camber is wrong. Any idea what usually causes a 2CV to pull to one side?

I guess I can easily check the camber angels compared to each other with just a string over the tyre by the rim?

How are your tire pressures and conditions? :)

New Michelins with the same pressure in each.

I would check the camber the way you describe it.
Maybe you got in a ditch somewere in the verge of the road.

Or a brake blocking a bit on one side?

Brakes are perfect. I think I will start by figuring out a way to check the camber. It's quite expensive in the workshop :?
