Car breaking away

[carlin]

Hi Guys,

Has anyone come across this, when applying the breaks the car pulls to one side, what i mean is turns left or right.
Last night when goin down the straight or round corner, the car wanted break away when applying the breaks.
I'm not sure if it the front end thats the problems or the rear just wondered if anyone new what it could be.

The surface im running on is just carpet

Thanks

sounds like its tweaked!

has it been in any hard impacts??

[Wraggy]

are you running a front one way ??

It had hard impact last Worksop meeting, when Jamie Booth Smashed it on the straight.
So that prob be why but how do you sort the tweak on buggy bit diff to touring cars.

Bent screws on the wishbone hangers? Front or rear...

Check that none of your shock shafts are bent and that you have equal droop on each side.
Then check for bent suspension pins etc by making sure that your suspension arms fall freely under their own weight when you remove the shocks.
Check the damper nuts and bolts through the shock mount - make sure nothing is bent or is preventing the shock from moving freely.
Does it always go the same way each time?

Other than that, make sure all 4 wheels are bolted up tight and are getting equal drive - no slipping diff etc.

I wouldn't have thought the chassis is tweaked - but I've had a bent shock shaft - not enough to prevent the shock from moving but enough to cause more stiction and perhaps slightly less droop.

If nothing is bent then as wraggy posts are you running a front one way diff ? Replace it with a normal diff and try braking then. With a front one way you,ve got to slow into the corners and power out or they will send the back out every time. I had this in my tourer and had to go back to a normal diff.
