99t 1.9td steering overpulling when cornering - bigkaz
hi guys bit of an unsettling one recent days i have found when i an steering round a corner or going round a big roundabout my steering will pull it self into the direction i an steering i.e. If i steer quarter turn it will pull it to half a turn its an odd one to explain its not the tyres as all are new or replaced in last 6 weeks wheel alignment was also done brakes replaced 3 months ago all fluids at good level this has caused me to skid and have had a few near misses needless to say not being driven right now. It has 120k on the clock as always thank you in advance for any suggestions very much appreciated

If you are suggesting that the car at 1/4 turn suddenly reponds as if you had requested 1/2 turn but you have not moved the wheel then either you have a ball joint/steering/suspension problem or you have a rear torsion/suspention/bearing problem. Often missed. Regards Peter

What were the road conditions at the time? No chance that this is new tyres on salt?
