ashlee205gti 1 Posted June 24, 2007 My cars developed a strange habit. When i am on power the car pulls to the right and i find i have to keep the steering wheel held about 10 degrees to the left to carry on driving in a straight line, but when i am off the power and just rolling i can keep the steering wheel straight. It also seems to pull really bad when the wheels find a rut in the road, it tends to follow that rather then where i am pointing the steering. . Feels a bit wobbly in the corners aswell. Car has power steering if that helps the diagnosis. Thankyou. Ash. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

matt-k 0 Posted June 24, 2007 Definately sounds like bushes, i had an old escort that did exactly that and i just let it get worse (not a good idea) i ended up having to turn the wheel all the time just to get it to go straight. (in an all over the road kind of fashon!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pugbliss 0 Posted June 25, 2007 i had this a few days ago and found my hub had a big crack down it where the wishbone ball joint bolts in..... i replaced it and now its fantastic again..... i too thought wishbone bushes but when i looked i saw the crack. If i had hit a pot hole i could of lost it totally. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
