Hey guys, i got a bit of a problem:

SnoBall has a HUGE issue when driving, as you accelerate hard, it veers right then when you back-off, it goes straight again!!! it isnt tourqe steer, cuz when all this happens the wheel doesnt move or tug one little bit. this wouldnt b an issue if i hadnt replaced all the bushes and engine mounts/steadys, but i have and the sterring rack cheecked out fine aswell. i'm out of ideas

Any one???

Power is going to one wheel more than the other. Check that your pot joints are all in order, along with your CV's It is torque steer just not for the right reasons :?

Cheers

Check the U bolts holding the steering rack on are tight. Half a turn on each one stopped my car from doing exactly the same.

cv's were checked and are fine, boots replaced.

but i dont think the pot joints have been looked @.

ive driven a FWD car with a screwed diff that only spat power to the left wheel, and it could be felt through the steering wheel. but i cant feel a thing in my car when it pull's, it just feels like its not teering when you turn into a right hand corner!!

Check tie bars and mounts, if ok, check caster adjustment
In other words Snowball probably needs a wheel allignment
