if you have had it apart, sounds like something wrong, have you lowered it drasticly as this will change stearing geometry, also have you checked nothing loose, miss placed as to pull to different sides could be something loose which is moving under the different forces

lowering the car will alter the amount of negative camber your car has and make it tramline more. i.e follow the camber of the road..into ruts etc...however your faults are more inline with knackered wishbone bushes. it will pull all over the place and generally drive like a turd.

wishbones are cheap enough. that would be where id start first..altho make sure you did things up tight before you go condeming bits.


hope that helps.

as Jam has said.. that sounds like nackered wishbones to me!!

what I'd do is replace the wishbones, track the car up properly.. if camber is bad mod the wishbones to alter the camber. sorted :chill:
