Hi there, got a weird one

My steering always pulls to the left, if i have my steering wheel in the center it goes quite wide to left so im always steering right. Also, my brakes, the discs and pads look brand new but its like they are not being used at all, the car just does not want to stop and when i apply the brakes firmly the steering wheel shakes and pulls hard to the left, it also does this if i drop a gear when slowing down.

Not sure on what it could be but any help would be appriciated
cheers

 

My car used to do this, The wishbone bushes were dead, IIRC the RST if its an escort uses an arm with the ball joint on the end and has a big bush in the middle.

 

Nice one cheers mate, another thing il get checked out. If it this, are they expensive?

cheers!!

 

about 20 each for the entire wishbone, then its something like 26 pounds for the powerflex bushes to put in there if you want an "upgrade". i did this but due to cost deflex are my new choice for all other bushes. fraction of the price and from what people on here are saying, very good competition.

 

might have a seized caliper as well mate

 

yeah thats what i am thinking as iv had a look and all the bushes seem fine. How would i go about fixing a seized caliper?

cheers

 

checked the caliper, that aint siezed, bushes are fine, bit mythed now...any more ideas?

cheers guys
