Steering pulling

[SSTrunks]

Hi, something wiered started yesterday on my car. Everytime I accelerate and not even that hard, the car pulls to the left. When I lift off it goes back to centre. I have noticed to when going straight the steering wheel is turned to the left slightly instead of being centred. Its like when I accelerate the steering corrects itself and goes back when I lift off so when holding steering the car goes to the left. The steering is fine when braking. Any ideas whats causing this?

Sounds like your tracking is out! Get it booked into a garage; they will realign it for you. And it won’t cost much eiver.

A lot of things can affect the tracking, wouldn’t imagine its anything to worry about!

once tracking goes out it's hard to get it just right as it came out of the factory...so it's pot luck really

i got my alignment done with print-out of before and after and even now the car pulls a lil to the left, but the print-outs show it's all aligned

Me too. Had laser alignment and the car still pulls to the left slightly. Thinking about going back to see if they can set the wheels slightly to the right to combat this. Flipping annoying.

I have the same issue. Went to the garage today. I got a print out stating that both my caster and camber angle was out. Apparently this is not adjustable and is a wear and tear issue.

actually my problem is a front wishbone front bush has failed. I just had them fitted about 2 weeks ago, they're powerflex ones. The place I had them done said could be the wrong size packed into correct box as they never seen powerlex bush do this.
