Smile Wandering Escort

Can anyone help me?
I've got a mk6 escort gti r reg on 17's, the steering feels really vague like the wheels arent actually attached to the steering rack, and when i accelerate it pulls to the left (as if it is torque steering) and then when i lift off if pulls to the right, its so bad that i can steer it left to right just using the gas!

I have fitted new wish bones and drop links to the front but its still doing it. It even worse in the wet.

Does anyone have any ideas orcan they point me in the right direction before it catches me out and i stuff it.

cheers
chris

Have you had the tracking done since you fitted the new lower arms and drop links? If so, have you tried removing the 17"s and trying some 15"s? If that don`t work, try checking your mounts (Engine mounts, ARB mounts etc)
