Got a doner car to help get my car back on the road.

It came with koni shocks and lowering springs, and koni adjustable rears on a lowere beam that has no camber.

So over the last couple days i fitted the suspension and rear beam. Fitted my rear brakes as they were new calipers, fitted all new copper brake pipes to rear. Bled them today, and also filled up my gpearbox oil as i a shaft fell out when i was changing the passengers hub/nuckle

So i took it for a blast down down the road and back earlier and its pulling to the right slightly under acceleration and when i lift off it pulls really badly to the left.

What could cause this? What have i done or forgotten about?

Thanks for any advice.

Beam isn't on straight.

Measure it to a specific place on the metal bodywork. It will be back on the right hand side I reckon, maybe only 3-5mm.
You can see where the bolt washers line up on the old paintwork. Just undo the beam slightly and twat it forward Thumbs up

Also check all suspension related nuts and bolts are tight- wishbones etc, and that the strut is properly located on to the knuckle.

Never thought of the beam. Im 110% sure that everything is tight up front as i wanted it done right all nuts and bolts were cleaned and greased up and tightened up one by one.

Will have a look at the rear beam shortly. And hopefully its just that.

I dont think its wishbone bush replated as they were done not long before it went off the road.
But the ball joint bring a different size is a good shout

Thanks guys

    The beam definately isnt sitting straight, and cant get much movement in it. Its about 5 mm out. If the elongated holes were front to back as opposed to side to side it would make my life so much easier
