My Focus seems to have a strange problem in that after going around left handers il return the steering to the middle and itl pull to the right. when out for a spirited drive shall we say its been a bit dodgy a couple times as ive gone for a right hander and cut the corner alot with very little steering imput . Its done this for a while now and I was hoping that the new suspension kit and drop links i had put on would fix this but its still there.

Ive had 4 wheel alignment done, checked the tightness of the bolts on the suspension and found that theres no free play anywhere. So I was hoping that someone else has had a similar experience so I can finally get this sorted.

The car is a V reg, 1.8 Focus Hatch

Cheers.

 

wish bones worn????????

 

Its possible but they look ok i.e. the bushes havnt pulled out and they arnt cracked. Will have another look though.

Should also mention that the car accelerates and brakes totally straight, its just after left handers lol.

 

Check for sticky calipers, then check the wheelbase is equal either side of the car, between the front and rear wheel.

Will do, got disc and pads all round to do anyway so will take a good look at the calipers.
