my cabby would torque steer all over the place under acceleration,, ended up changing the tcas, as the balljoint was hanging out.

worth checking them maybe ?

Finally got round to looking at it today after my bought of swine flu.

It was the anti roll bar bushes that join the inner TCA. The right hand side bush's have dissapeared :s. they were only 4 months old as well.

Usually you see mashed up or split bushes when theyre dead.. but there is nothing left. The anti roll bar is just floating!
