I changed my breaks and my wishbones, including both bushes and the ball joint today. Ever since it done this when i go on the throttle my car steeres one way, and when i let off it goes the other.Any ideas what this could be?

My money is on an ovalled hub, or you've got a 16mm balljoint in a 18mm hub.________________________________________  Seat Leon Cupra FR / 306 GTI6 / Breaking 205 GTI6 / Caterham 7 / Mercedes Sprinter 311CDI LWB Sold: Fisher Fury - Laguna DCI Estate - P1 306 XSI - E30 BMW 325i Baur Convertible - Daihatsu Fourtack - Suzuki GSXR600 - 205 Rallye |
