Steering Pulling Aggressively

[Waite_87]

I have a 182 Cup that drives nice and straight most of the time. Then every now and then it tries to kill me. I.e pulling across the road, most of the time to the right. It’s had pretty much everything but bottom arms. Am right in thinking a bush maybe goosed? Or the subframe? Thanks.

Something must be loose to cause that.

Get it on stands or a ramp and swing off all the components, should be able to work out what it is.

When it pulls is it during acceleration? When coasting?

I had a pull to the right , changed everything suspension related, still the same

4 new tyres. Problem solved

Thanks guys. I’ve checked for loose bolts etc all ok.
Gonna try some different wheels and tyres today

Do you know what alignment it's running?

Are your tyre pressures all correct?

Is there any play in the steering rack?

Where the ball joint goes into the bottom of the hub is all worn. So new hub time.

Seems odd that would wear

Quite common with rust build up and when the pinch bolt hasn't been done up correctly, there will be play/movement which wears the hole out.

Common on hubs. Pinch bolt needs to be fully tight otherwise the balljoint can move up and down about 5mm

It’s certainly cured it anyway lads. Thanks
