Small problem

So im going on Saturday to have a new centre section, going on Tuesday to have the new clutch and flywheel fitted, but still the car still decides to give me grief.

Basically, what's seemed to have happened tonight, completely out the blue is the fact that the car dosent seem to want to drive in a straight line properly any more :blink:

For example, ill be driving along in a straight line, holding the wheel straight, then all of a sudden ill get the sensation that the car wants to pull me right, and kind of skips.

Would I be correct in thinking it could be; the ball joints on the wishbones, or the steering rack?

I had the car laser aligned about two months ago.

Its just really frustrating, as im pretty strapped for cash this month as it is, with having a load of work done on the car.

Hi Mate,
I took it to a tyre outlet today, the tracking was way out, so I had it done and its driving straight now but the steering is still abit iffy.

I suspect the same as you, balljoints.

Im going to be replacing mine along with the wishbones after christmas, they arent too expensive from euro car parts.

yeah, my tracking is out aswell, so im guessing tracking and ball joints are the cause,
i was told to get cambers looked at too.
