saveloy 8 Posted November 2, 2006 On a constant throttle the car tracks true, although it feels a tad loose in the steering. Under power it pulls left noticeably. The steering needs moving right in order to keep the car straight. I have changed the nearside top mount bearing and rubber, the wishbone and the gearbox rubber mount. But still it pulls. The steering seems to have no play whatsoever, so I have ruled that out. I'm wondering whether the gearbox mounting/battery shelf itself is loose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surely if it pulls left the o/s wishbone is the one you want to change? -Phillip Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
saveloy 8 Posted November 2, 2006 Well, that was my next port of call. But why? I have wondered whether the O/S top mount rubber is shot too. I have never, ever had the car feel like this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because the power on pulls the o/s wheel forwards on the wishbone, and then it twists to toe in slightly, hence it pulls left. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
saveloy 8 Posted November 2, 2006 Nice, thanks for that. Down to the spares shop then. It is very strange, because I have felt absolutely nothing like this before. And I have experienced all manner of issues. There is a first for everything I suppose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mate, even ig God himself was sitting on my shoulder, rubbing a rabbit's foot and eating lucky cereal, I'd still end up with the poo stick. Good fortune does not run solidly in my family.
