Evnin, I have been increasingly aware of a weird problem and just wondered your thoughts on possible or most likely cause. if I accelerate the car pulls to the left if I come off it pulls to the right. although its not a heavy pull I could almost steer it on the throttle on some shallow bends.

I check my tyre pressures fairly regularly although admit not in the last 2 weeks so that will be my first check but sure the issue has been there a while.
Binding brake calliper was another thought but seems to roll easily enough on slight slopes.:confused:
 
Hmmmm cheers wasnt thinking about bushes cheers. The rear trailing arm to chassis bushes are crusty and cracked but the arm to chassis seems ok last time i was under about a month ago. Cheers I'll check them next. oh and i suppose they are under a bit more stress since doing the two inch lift springs 6 months back.
 
Again cheers for the info boys, It hadn't occured to me yet about checking the bushes as i wasn't getting any knocks and had replaced front radius arm and all roll bar bushes in the summer, but since you mentioned it I done a search on trailing arm woes and the same handling characteristics came up so I think you've nailed it cheers.
 
Axle is lozenging as other folk have pointed out due to knacked rear suspension bushes.
Polybush the lot - polybushes retain their shape better and tend to have a higher shore rating which will improve the on-road experience a little bit!
