Title: 1997 2.5 v6 pulling to the right
Post by: 924boy on 16 March 2009, 23:14:37

as above... under heavy braking at high speeds. Pulls quite sharply to the right. plan to check callipers aren't sticking and bleed them. any other ideas what might cause this?

Also check wishbone pivot bushes, rear pads (seized in calipers) and possibly steering idler bush.

Will do, didn't think of checking the rear pads but might make sense... seems to kinda twist as opposed to just pull at the front. thanks  :y

As said, check the wishbone bushes carefully... It's what I'd put my money on!!

don't forget to change both front wishbones at the same time
otherwise it will be worse

are the bushes changeable or is it a case of doing the whole wishbone?
