Advice please , after being checked through from bushes to geometry I have no answer .The car drifts to the left sharply and is aditated by bumps in the road.The weight of my hands stops this but if i let go for a split second the car shoots to the left . Can anyone healp me ? Full concentration is needed or it can drift in to another lane.

Uprated front tubular wishbones are fitted , just wondering this could have something to do with it .

Thanks for the offer , i may not have time tomorrow.

I even got a laser level across the center of the wheels each side and then measured , both sides are within 2 mm. I was thinking maybe the front passenger wheel sits further forward than the other side causeing it to pull over.

I tested it on a country road ,more a track at 25 mph it sat in a perfect straight line even on a bumpy surface .

I even drove on opposite side of the road at 50 mph with the road camber o pposit ,the car still shot to the left .

yes Trouble is once the tyres have been running with that error they form their own shape which makes the pull progressively worse as you rack up the miles, this is why tracking/wheel toe alignment to rectify a pull on say a euro box seldom helps till the tyres are renewed Daz
Tyres are new ,Ive had the problem for years ,need to get it sorted.

I have two sets of wheels , nothing changes. If I go on the wrong side of the road it still shoots to the left .That is against the camber.

Thanks. If I take the tension off the spring will it lower the ride height ?

Apart from some cosmetics the car is solid with a good engine ,if I can get this sorted it will be the icing on the cake.
