As the title suggests my 90 pulls left slightly most of the time but it is much more pronounced when accelerating.

The lower tie bar bushes have been replaced recently and it has improved from pulling left and right all of the bleeding time lol.


Could the upper link bushes cause this?


The rear n/s shock absorber is worn and leaking slightly also! Possible cause?
Or something else?


Any suggestions welcomed.

If you mean the upper and lower links of rear axle its probably not related, nor the shock.
Think tracking or a worn part in the front suspension more likely. What year is the 90?

could be diff wear i suppose!

It's a 1984 with disco rear axle.

A frame ball joint?

A frame ball joint?

That will be my next job I think + replacing the bushes.

 

[jamesmartin]

A frame ball joint gives a clunk when worn ,id start with rear trailing arms,its not uncommon

Some older stuff used to follow the camber of the road, does it pull on a flat surface. I havent found worn link bushes caused a consistent pull, just general vagueness, but if tthe others say so I guess they do sometimes. have you been through the suspension an steering joints wit a small crowbar looking for play? Does the steering wobble when you hit a bump?

 

[DiscoPol]

My Disco had a spell doing this, also under breaking it would try and squirm away a bit too, it was the bushes on the trailing arms, pure knacked they were.

 

[kato Disco]

I have just replaced the lower trailing arm bushes and it is much more positive in its handling but the pull under acceleration is more noticeable now I drives straighter.

I am gonna have the tracking tested and replace the a frame bushes to see if it improves any. Cheers for the responses folks.

or uneven front tyres/sizes thus giving drive unequally to the front axle..

have you tried swapping wheels around ....

are both diffs the same ratio?

The tyres are the same type and size but I will try swapping them over.

I have no idea about the diff ratios. How can I find that out?
