Strange Handling

[SlowGTS-t]

My car was starting to handle really slopplily. Turns out that it needed new castor rod bushes and upper arm bushes. So got those done. (Standard upper arms and poly castor bushes)

Then had a wheel alignment done. The car just feels really weird now. Seems to turn right a lot better than it turns left . Does this at low speed but worse at high speed. Seems to be an issue on turn in only. ONce I'm in a turn, it seems ok. ALso pulls left on the straight. (You'd think that it would turn left better if it pulled left but that's not the case!)

The steering wheel isnt quite straight either. Have taken it back twice already but they cant seem to get the wheel straight. Also has 1 deg extra camber on the left hand side.

Anyone got any ideas? I tried taking the steering wheel off to centre it but the splines dont line up with dead centre. Been under the car, no play in suspension at all, cant see anything unusual. Only thing left to do is measure all the various bits and pieces I suppose and I guess take it to another wheel alignment place.

maybe go to a place that can align skyline 4 wheel steer?

Sounds like your castor is uneven left to right..

if you are running more castor on the right side than the left the car will have a tendancy to pull to the left.. but it will turn in a little better to the right..

hope you got adjustable castor bushes.. all that needs to be done is wind a little more onto the left one.. or if its maxed out on the left you might take some off of the right..

there is more to it than this but in a nutshell this is it

hope this helps
