Did you get anywhere with this? Mine is also on Eibach springs and pulls to the left, so I'm keen to know if you managed to solve this issue.
Thanks
Sam

 

After wheel alignment mechanic tried to do something with steering via ISTA - D and in another shop with Hunter alignment machine they tried to solve it with CodeLink which is Hunter's system to measure steering angle sensors positioning and reset the sensor referenced to a vehicle’s alignment geometry. Both failed. But at the end on CodeLink there was a message with error codes found after job saying EPS: 4823C2 and DSC: D354A1. For 4823C2 i found this meaning "initialisation fault, steering angle, directional stability not learned". I heard that this pulling after lowering happened to some people with MINIs. My car is only few months old so maybe I would try to ask dealer if they can diagnose it, but don't know how they reaction will be about lowering springs.

I would like to stay in contact with you Sam, I am going to the MINI dealer maybe in 2 or 3 weeks so if there will be a solution for this, I will write it down right here to let everybody know.

For those who just read it, please if you know something about it or somebody who solved it, let us know. Don't let us stuggling.

 

I watched a Youtube video with PetrolPed on the new DT edition JCW, I am about to do the changes to my new car when I pick it up on my return to UK.
The car in question is lowered on eibach by 30mm has 15mm spacers and wheels aligned by KDS,watch the video and contact them because that car drives lovely on film, Im offshore in the Middle East and struggle at times to get google so I cant help further, Please as before post what you find.
Good luck

Quick update - I had my alignment done and all was fine, only very minor adjustments needed. The chap also checked front control arms and bushings as well as tyres, all fine.

I am thinking that this may have something to do with the servotronic steering, as someone mentioned this being out of alignment would 'pull' the wheel slightly off centre. Can't back that up at the moment as we're unfortunately on lockdown here in the UK. Someone else mentioned on the forum that the 'centred' steering angle can be adjusted to compensate for any play either side, so this might be something else to look at.

 

Hello Sam,
In my case there was a problem with springs so now I am back on my stadard suspension and planning to install KW Street Comfort.

 

I'm having the same issue on my wife's 15 JCW with it pulling to the left to the extent of requiring some strength to hold on to the steering.

Did twice the alignment at the tyre shops when getting fresh PS4 rubbers last month. I don't think they did any adjustment on the rear.

Can somebody advice me if the Hunter alignment data aren't accurate or there is calibration issue on the Servotronic?

 

I also have same problem on a 2017 MCS, Mini aligned it but not all ‘green’ as they reckon a drop link bush needs replacing under warranty and that will resolve it.....I remain unconvinced and think I have servotronic issue so please share any intel so I can hit the stealers with it please 👍

 

I don't know anything about car mecanics...but the guy who will place Eibach springs under ours was asking if it was a manual or a automatic gearbox
As a non mecanic I couldn't understand why this would change anything on the suspension, but apparently the axle load is different. Don't know if this might be a reason of the left pulling in some cases as maybe not the correct springs??? Just a thought...
