Fiesta mk3 steering/suspension issue
Got an issue with a '95 mk3 Fiesta 1.3i, i've replaced both front wheel bearings, also found the o/s strut top mount had a small amount of play in it so i replaced that too (n/s fine) the trouble is now, when pressing the brakes it pulls left, not dangerously, but noticeable, then when brakes are released it returns to straight. It feels exactly like a knackered lower arm bush but they were replaced about 4 months ago, there is no sign of deterioration in the bushes and the ball joints are fine. Theres no play in the steering rack, and the track rods ends are ok. Tyre pressures ok and all
I've double checked everything thats been disturbed, then triple checked it to make sure ive not dropped a bollock and missed something.
Ill get it tracked up tomorrow am sure it'll need it, but it doesn't feel like bad tracking to me causing this, plus its only under braking as opposed to all the time.
Anybody got any suggestions as ive scratched me head so much i've got a bald spot coming!
