It may seem I have bought a right shed LOL, and I probably have! lol

But theres only a few small problems, but I figured I may just aswell add all of em on here and gauge ur suggestions for me to act on.

Im quite practically minded, so hope to undertake as much as possible on my own, or at least give it a go!

I noticed when I took my foot off the accelerator on the way home from birmingham that the car wanted to pull left slightly! I also was told that was the side that needed the driveshaft changing, does that have any bearing to the handling?

Also the drivers side front wheel is greasy, im guessing the CV is gone, but havent had chance to fully inspect yet.

i would get the tracking checked on the car, usual symptons of steering pulling to one side

That's what i thought.

It's only cheap to get it sorted aswell.

Yeah figured it would be tracking, 20 quid sorted, Just wondered if the driveshaft would have any bearing to it being a bit wobbly. Still, best get the driveshaft and then sort the tracking! Nice one :thumb:

could also be tire pressure or even a seized caliper

Will be a ball joint causing the pulling when lifting off.
Grease will be from CV joint
