Spent the day with Richard (bluewhitecoopers) setting up suspension and steering. Ended up pretty good and 200% better than when we started.
One question tho. On deceleration the car wants to swerve as soon as you back off.
Which component affects this?
Caster bars?
Cheers.

I would check the tie rod ends.
I had similar on my daughters mini. After acceleration, took the foot of the accelerator and the car changed direction a little.
Changed a sloppy tie rod end and all good.

Thanks. Ill check them out to make sure theres nothing strange happening, but the tie rod ends are new.

Check the tie bar mounts are still welded on solid, also the rubbers. The nut should be done up TIGHT.
Unless the bars have split pins, I'd fit new nyloc nuts...!

I would also check the steering arm mounting bolts & dowels
these are very prone to coming loose (especially if been previously attacked by someone not knowing what they`re doing)

loose steering arms are very dangerous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No offence intended here but--> anyone writing a book about minis 30 years ago may not have experienced such worn or stuffed-with components as we are finding these days.

You should put your heart & soul into everything you do.

Will dbl check everything. Drmini built the rack - shld be AOK! Only started the swerve thing since we adjust the settings(Camber/Toe) so hopefully its not a hardware problem.

But I will still check. Dont want a steering malfunction.

Cheers.
