I have a 110 with +40mm springs. For a long while the steering pulled to the right and when finally the PAS gave up I bought a new steering box.

But after fitting the new steering box the steering still pulls to the right - previously I assumed this was because the previous steering box was worn...its not serious but its a nuisance.

I have checked the tracking, the chassis and running gear and everything checks out OK. Wheels and tyres are new. One mechanic suggested I should get an adjustable panhard rod to compensate for the lift - is this correct?
 
Hello,

I fitted my 90 with a 2 inch lift and found that mine started to pull, on my 90 it was due to the radius arms bushes being warn....

may be worth checking!!!
 
Ok - the problem was related to the gas shock I used for the steering. It has so much pressure that it afffected the steering. I replaced it with a oil shock and the steering propblem resolved itself. Seems that you have to be careful what kind of shock absorber you fit to the steering system....
