I had the car tracked a few months ago and it drove lovely, the other day I noticed it now drifted towards the left. After a little investigation I think i have found my problem:



Image on the left is the nearside. Must have happened when I fitted my solid mounts, am I correct in thinking I can just loosen off those bolts and knock the beam foward, I guess it's meant to sit against the back as that's where the metal looks fresh from where they had been for the last 14 years.

have you got solid mounts? looks as if the beam mounted p*ssed

Hmmm

I'd say the fact that you now have solid mounts on the rear means that the beam has found its natural position. I'd look at sorting the front end now with roller bearing lower arms and also replace the track rod ends. Also have a look at you suspension top mounts and up grade your engine mounts

I find on the 6 if you renew change one end the other end does not like it ?

however that is just my view and what would I know after 12 years of owning these things

Appreciate the input but engine mounts? Maybe I should check the wiper blades as well?

I can absolutely believe fitting solid mounts will highlight tired parts at the front but I can't see how they would affect how the beam sits.
