Cars handling is totally off, when left wheels are placed on a line and car is driven straight, it wobbles slightly and the back wheels move left over the line in a short distance (1m) and the front move right, however over a long distance (5m) it curves drastically to right: Moves as a crab.
When turning it's very unstable etc... too.

I've stripped the entire car and found nothing is damaged or bent as I thought could be the case.

Car is clean, spotless in perfect condition: diffs smooth, bearings smooth, shocks all the same, etc...

Any ideas....... as to where to start looking or identifying the problem?

Has anyone heard anything like this before?
have you run the car since you striped it down after the bad handerling night its un likley to be a tweaked chassis if it has only accured after a rebuild what it would more likly be a accentric diff holder being in a differnt possition left to right maybe on front or rear.
