theres weaker components than a tracking arm on a corsa so these are prob bent/damaged too! i had the same problem with a clio. i brought it and someone had just replaced the tracking arm, and steering column! a few weeks later i got it checked out and the suspension strut was bent! i had that fixed(coileys) and ity was even worse because the previous owner had the tracking set up to compensate for the bent strut. so ull prob need to get it set up again!

right the other day someone drove into my car and hit my front passenger side wheel. now it bent the tracking arm so thats bin replaced its also bin retracked so they say it should be right now. but it still ever so slightly pulls to the right and when i go to put full left lock on the steering goes really light and the car feels really strange when you move with full lock on. :boggle: i know its not a good explanation but does anyone have any idea what may be wrong. im going to take it down the garage on monday if not 2moro.
cheers matt
