Sounds like sloppy tie bar bushes. You got the old or new style bushes?

My Nova done this, found that there was a bolt missing from the anti roll bar where it mounts to the cross member.

are you driving on the white lines? :lol:

does it handle shit ? make sure you tightened everything back up... i'd change the balljoints and trackrod ends to eliminate them...

hope to god you dont have problems like i have.... 2 suspension setups polybushes, wheel barings, top mounts, different wheels... car still handles like a bag of shit:|:lol:

mine did this after i did curborough sprint track! it was all right hand cornering and it caused it to pull to the left after for some reason! i had everything done + checked and it still did it :o

no, didnt look at the ball joints, we undid them and did them back up so this could well be the cause of the problem

i'll just go round everything connected to the steering wheel, directly or indirectly and double check the tightness of the bolts etc

did you say you've had a look at bottom ball joints?

my track rod end was knackered, but it only had a little bit of movement in it.

looked alright when i was doing the tracking earlier at work

track rod end maybe

no, it continues nice and straight when i let go of the wheel

i think i'm gonna cheack all the bolts this weekend and make sure they are tight

my corsa did this but cured itsself sure was ball joint though, rob when u let go of steering wheel does it pull quite badly one way enough to make u grab back on.........

torque steer is common on xe so u have to ignore it specially in wet lol

didnt undo the rack, it feels like ball joints, maybe, but not sure, maybe the drive shafts arent in right still....

couple of bushes fucked :look:

steering rack tight ?

bit of a bizarre one tbh

every time i accelerate hard the steering wheel drops down to the right sllightly, and then when i back off, the front end goes really light

i've checked the tracking at work today, and its all fine

anyonw know what the problem is?
