Well i just fitted new pads and the braking side has cleared up......But it still wanders left (at least it brakes in a straight line now). Theres only the strut tops and roll bar bushes left to check i think. If it aint either of them I need a bin big enough to get car in!!! :evil:

Had my 2.8i from new (Aug 83). It has pulled left to a greater or lesser degree ever since new and you can only imagine all the stuff I have changed in that time!

Never completely solved, but some things worked better than others.

The wheel wobble has been a common recurring theme, and I have found more often than not its a slightly sticky caliper (odd but true).

Other nasty little items than can exacerbate the problem is slight wear on the n/s rack end ball joint (which can be adjusted, but takes some effort)
