So when you steer right it pulls to the right, and you steer left and it pulls to the left? Am I missing something here lol ?

lol it pulls to the left or right when going in a straight line. Tracking!
so somebody has set it toe out........ and when you turn the wheel, it grabs.

So it wants to be slightly in?
I set it myself using laser equipment and they were bang on parallel, not in or out.. To my eyes anyway lol
You need the proper settings, I can post them up later, it gives cast camber and toe angles
the lower suspension bushes could be badly worn.. so the settings move about a bit when driving.
Tracking should be set at +1.0 auzzy but allow for the mods like wheels suspension as it changes the manufacturers settings if you know what i mean ive had mine set at +1.0 with my XE and its fine no pulling or owt.
this is what is says in me thatcham manual,

Wonder why they changed the camber angle after 88?

Suspension is brand new, so are the lower arms, track rod ends etc?
