Left hand pull
Can anyone help. My 1.6 capri pulls to the left all the time and its worse under braking.
I've changed Steering rack, Track control arms, Track rod ends and wheel bearings and it drives like a different car but it still pulls it has relatively new calipers and the brakes aren't binding. The steering wheel also wobbles sometimes when it feels like it but i've had the wheels balanced twice. It doesn't look like it been in a smash. Any ideas
Cheers in advance, Danny.

Cheers guys for all the advice! Front seems unrestricted. Pulled handbrake and it did pull left once and it always locks passenger side wheel. Just a thought but the rear antiroll bar looks bent. It is not symmetrical on both sides where it fastenes to body. Also it looks as if there is an adjustable eye. Is this used to line up the axle?
Its had new cylinders on back less than 6 months ago and mechanic say track within 1 degree. Think I'm gonna have to get a 4 wheel track and check to see if owts bent
The tops of the springs didn't move with steering. They are fixed i.e winding up when turning left and right. I've heard two different oppinions on whether this is normal including mechanic. It seems wrong to me but then i'm not up to speed on suspension. Anyone know?

Two other areas to check would be the front anti roll bar bushes as under breaking the inertia makes the roll bar move if the near-side bush is u/s that will cause the n/s wheel to move further back that the o/s this would also cause the steering wheel to wobble
The second thing to check is that both front tyres are the same make/size etc as different makes have slight difference in rolling radius
hope u get it sorted as I know it!s a s*** to cure.
Every capri I have ever owned suffered from some sort of steering wobble @ one time or another.
