shocks the prob?

[davey red.r]

well heres a problem for yous lot to get your teeth into,
had my white r setup today castor, toe aligment, tracking,
the car is pulling to the left:?
my shocks are a bit fooked to say the least,
have new shocks to go on this month,
im thinking that this pulling to the left is due to the shocks,
it does not pull to the left all the time just the odd occasion,
i thought it might be the steering rack bent as when i pull away in a straight line the steering wheel turns to the left but when i put it in reverse the wheel does not move so ive ruled out a bent steering rack.

any ideas lads?

I had a very similar issue with my old escort, accelerate it pulled in one direction, on over run in the other - was the bushes in the wishbones having lots of play causing the front to shift slightly... just an idea.

ive just had new wishbones fitted with new ball joints and bushes,& anti dive,
it was pulling to the left before the setup, and still is afterwards:?

no not that either,
im putting some kyb,s on on friday,

im hoping that cures it as the shocks thats on, handle like a sponge full of water:sad::lol:
