either the tracking or wheel bearing and balljoints / track rod ends. Jack up the wheels and checking for play. :thumb:

if it was the tracking would it not pull to the left all the time under acceleration

left caliper is gripping too well... meaning the right one is likely to be siezed in the off position

once again would this not mean it would happen every time


also if it is a stuck caliper would this be able to be solved with a mallet and a hot air gun

erm NO if the right caliepr is stuck OFF then it wont be touching the disc at all... easiest way to tell is brake, feel the left disc, then feel the right disc. If the right disc is cold then the right piston is siezed (in the off position)

odds on a mallet and hot air gun will be as much use as giving ti a stern look...
