Solved: Pulling right!

[RichN]

Calling folks wiser than me...

When I drive along, my car pulls to the right.

I've had it looked at, and it was suggested I changed the front suspension, which I've done. It helped but I can say it's not cured it, and I can add the following observation:

It drives completely straight when I'm accelerating! When I coast, continue on partial throttle or brake the car pulls to the right.

I've had the camber and toe checked multiple times at 2 different places.. I've also replaced front discs and pads, and checked the slider pins and nothing seems to be sticking. Brake discs are not over heated or blue, and braking performance is always good. What would cause me to wander right except under mid to full throttle?!

would love mine to pull right.... if my tracking goes, it always goes left (same on the 1.4).

sorry, can't help lol

Well, here I am answering my own question again for future reference anybody searching this.

My car was pulling right unless accellerating hard.. (at which point it was pretty straight, as the weight comes off the front wheels). Changing wishbone bushes for powerflex items and taking the car for toe and camber check has things right back as they should be. Absolutely spot on.

Powerflex items are just what I hoped for, not much change in the car, nice and firm and actually it's quieter than the (probably very broken) previous OEM items.
