Did they reset the tracking. It sounds as though it is toeing in too much. Regards Peter

No the tracking wasn't done but have booked it in to another garage to have tracking done as the one that replaced the lower arm charge £40 for tracking.

I'm keeping fingers crossed that's what the problem is although with 50 years of owning cars I have never experienced this phenomenon.

It doesn't always happen it depends on the radius of the bend and the speed I enter it. When it does happen it's a little bit like crabbing as if the rear is pushing the front round.

Well I've had the tracking done and the handling is as it should be. Surprising what 8mm of toe in can do, it felt like it had a mind of its own.

It cost me £27 incl, more than I had hoped but both track rod ends were seized which meant it took them a bit longer.

Next job anti roll bar bushes and I aint dropping the sub frame. I'm going to try and lever the brackets up after removing the front 10mm bolts, hoping the brackets don't snap . If they snap then it's garage job , no big deal.
