Hi all, just this week the car has been pulling to the left when I ease off the throttle then when i accelerate it rights itself. What could this be? I did change the n/s wishbone today.Cheers ________________________________________ Team Diesel |

basically the rubber on your side is newer and stiffer so has less give, the one on the other side is older and has more. When you decelerate your putting weight on the bushes and the left one moves causing the right do be in front of it causing a steering effect.IMO ________________________________________ Ex- Phase 3 China GTi-6 T-Reg |

When i changed the wishbone I did notice the caliper was quite hard to open up. I'll check them both properly tomorrow and free up if needed. ________________________________________ Team Diesel |

Did you check the tightness of the wishbone bolts? I've had these exact symptoms caused by a front wishbone bolt coming loose.________________________________________ Rich |

I had this. It turned out to be play in the nearside front wheel bearing. Changed this and it sorted it. Knackered p bushes will also make the car wander.________________________________________ |
