had a knock on the N/S/F



  LY 182
Had a little knock on the n/s/f of my clio a little while ago,, and since that going in a straight line the steering is a little left hand down- straighten it up the car goes right.
if you take your hands of the wheel the wheel will sit a little left hand down but it still accelerates dead straight.
i havn't had alot of time to look at it but i've had a measure up and all seems in order, and i've also noticed that the lower ball joint where it bolts to the wishbone it looks like the bolt had moved slightly (elongated the hole) so put a wishbone on it.
tierod dosn't look bent, measured the toe and its bang on 0
not really sure what else i could have knocked out?
havn't really looked at the rack mounting points but the steering feels fine and handling dosn't feel too badly out either.
if i cant find anything im going to get it laser tracked, but just wondering if there are any other common ports of call?
going to put it on a ramp tommorow and have one more check.
thanks

well yeah but for it to knock the tracking out something has to have moved, i could quite easily reset it but i'd much rather figure out what exactly has moved ;)

same happened to mine and it wasn't a straight forward job to get it back as it should be, i replaced the sub frame wishbone suspension leg stub axle and the wheel all these parts were brand new. each time i replaced some think, it got better but not 100%. i have now had it 4 wheel aliened and it is spot on.But trust me it wasn't cheap, each part was slightly affected and it wasn't till it was replaced that you could tell.
