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?

Cheers.

My money is on an ovalled hub, or you've got a 16mm balljoint in a 18mm hub.

Doubt it would be drivable with the wrong balljoint tbh, would be dangerous.

Could be rear beam mounts i guess, tyre pressures, unevenly worn tyres, tracking.

over tightening of the M10 pinch bolt, should only be torqued to 23 lbft.
