chris H Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 HiI converted my v from auto to manual and since then the car's pulling like a bitch to the right, i had the tracking done by a mate that works at renault but it's still the same.When coasting in neutaral it veers slightly to the right but touch the throttle and you'll change lanes in a second!I've checked the hubs ect and can't see anything wrong/loose/bent ect.Any Ideas peeps???Cheers in advance.Chris.

micky boy Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 The same thing happened to me on my old glanza when i put new track rod ends on...Took it to north east tyres and exhausts to get tracked but when i drove off it was still pulling like fook to the left so after an hour of pulling my hair out thinking WTF is it i took the car back to north east tyres and exhausts to check that they have done the trcking right as it was an apprentice that trecked my car....Sure enuf the trecking was way out so maybe take your car somewhere elss to get tracked you never know.....Also i would recommend changeing the track rods for new ones dont try and get it tracked up on old track rods you will be wasting your time and money if you do Quote
Georgie Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 mine did this, after having it lowered it started, got the tracking looked at and the wheels were out by 15 degrees!! Quote
chris H Posted August 11, 2011 Author Posted August 11, 2011 Cheers guys, will deffo do that, i watched the guy do the tracking too!!thing is it's lethal as soon as to touch the accelerator pedal it'll drag you across 3 lanes in a second lol. feels like all the power's going through 1 wheel lol.

LeeG Posted August 13, 2011 Posted August 13, 2011 sounds like the bushes are away in the wishbone making the bush flex under load. had same problem on my first fiesta as son as u floored it would pull u to one side them when u lift off would straighten back up. Quote
chris H Posted August 20, 2011 Author Posted August 20, 2011 I replaced the hubs, shafts and gearbox when i converted it to manual, we checked all the ball joints ect for play and they're all good.If you free wheel in neutral it veers slightly to the right but if you accelerate it pulls like a bitch... it's kinda dangerous how bad it pulls!!

JackStar Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 I had the same problem, it was the front bush, lower arm bolt kept coming lose, so had to locktite it in. not the antilift bush the one in front, think its a 17mm or 19mm bolt.Jack Quote
LeeroyV Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 mine was pulling to the right.. and a standard allignment made little difference so i took it back and told them and they put it on their fancy computer allignment foc and now its all good Quote
GT Phayer Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 we had this on a escort at work and changed the lower arms and it sorted it the only thing i could of seen it being was soft bushed hope this might help Quote
