Pulling/wobble under acceleration

[Potter]

Help please... on my way back from cadwell today under any acceleration my 172 is pulling to the right and the steering is irratic... drives fine when off the gas

Have you checked driveshafts ?

 

[Potter]

Not yet going to have a gander tomorrow, what am i looking for with them? Not too mechanical...

Driveshaft boot split on drivers side where it goes into engine bit... today though its driving miles better! Could it be anything to do with hard track driving all day warming things up??

Grease could of leaked out and causing it to lock up a bit i had the same provlem with passenger side

my old 172 done exact the same an had to change the steering rack rods which is an easy change and track rod ends as they had play in them which caused car to steer all over road under acceleration

Inner boot split on driver side needs a new driveshaft, presuming it's a Ph2? You can get a recon from Renault Wolves in the trader section for £115 ish
