steering/tracking problem ??

[draper]

my car seems to pull left when driving and right when braking hard, also the steering wheel "rocks" from side to side when driving straight, any ideas ?? have also noticed that the passenger side front wheel seems to sit closer to the rear of the wheel arch which makes me think something has bent ??

check bottom arms, mine banana'd after tapping a curb....
take it to be tracked anyways, it wont hurt, and feels much better afterwards, plus they will tell you if something is out.

bent arm or wheel or an unbalanced wheel maybe (not sure about that causing one to sit farther back though)

when i bent lower arm and bottom balljoint the n/s wheel sat 2or more inches back in arch, also once fixed the steerin felt wierd until had tracking done.

[Asa-James]

the arms and ball joints aint expensive., so if you gotta change one side, do both and have done with it

I had something similar when the tiebars came lose. Best to spanner check the front end. Something is wobbling about down there.

Variable wheelbase car, now thats novel.
Could be rack, balljoints,bottom arm/tie bar bent,tracking out or all or any variations.
Might be driver?lol

I've got a brand new rack if you need it, quickrack though, and some strengthened bottom arms and some tie bars and some wheelbases
