Steering... Very Light / Pulls / Twitchy
Discussion
Hi all,
Looking for some help. I have had my 02 car about a year now, recently had about 1,200 pounds spent fixing certain issues. However, my steering is still pulling, comes across light over bumps / corners and can pull when braking and accelerating hard.
I have had both rear and front bushes replaced, any other ideas why this is happening. I have just checked the tyre pressure and its now all equal....helped a little bit. (34psi)
Please help as I am wanting to convert to 210bhp but want this sorting 1st as it would be uncontrollable if I fitted the extra's now!!!
Appreciated

I am assuming you have tyres that are the same tread type as well as at the correct pressures all around. i have found different tyres also increase/decrease the tramlining of the car. I used to run Dunlop Sports all around but got some Pirellis cheap a few months back. The dunlop's were much better than the Pirellis, the new ones find the tiniest pothole, tramline and drop into it.
BTW I am still running run flats on my R53 and find them to be alright.

I had the same on mine - made it a bh to drive, all over the place and I hated the little runt. And then I had new (Run flat) tyres and tracking done good and proper on a laser rig. Too much toe in was the cause, and not by much either...
Run flats are firm, but not the root cause of all evil.
