Hi,

Hit a big pothole last week, after this my car began to pull to the left, badly... Thought it would have knocked tracking out so I got that done today but it still pulls to the left...?

seems to do it more when accelerating though.. Anyone have any ideas what it could be?? Somethig bent etc? It's lowered on coilovers btw..

Carl..

should have told them the story at the garage that tracked it....

had them look over the running gear for bends, or even a split crack on the inner side of the wheel?
