502 x Handling problem

[traffman]

As i nail the throttle on the straight at our club my car tends to pull hard to the left , it can be a handfull unless i back off the throttle.

Now i did bend the right handside front driveshaft a few weeks back , i straightened it as much as i could , but it's not perfect.

Could this be the cause of the wayward handling?

Also there's a fair amount of slop to the front wheels , i have shimmed this up to the extent that there's very little movement now , i havent tested this since i took it out on Sunday.
