Anton green 12 1 Cars Posted May 20, 2007 (edited) It is possibly the rear beam bushes which are letting the back end steer for you more than normal. When my rear BB started to go it would steer on bumpy roads which I had to correct with the steering wheel. If you have the right tools they can be changed in an afternoon. I wouldnt know how to check if it is definitly the bushes which have gone. I knew it was the bushes on mine as I have changed everything else.. Oh yeh, if the car changes direction when you apply power or braking, I'd say the component which is failing is on the front end of the car.
