Ford Escort steering/handling problem.?

Hello all.


If anyone can offer an accurate solution, I will be very grateful.


Ok, Ford Escort 1.6i, W reg. On acceleration, the car pulls noticeably to the right; ease off the throttle and it corrects itself, and feels (I am told) like it鈥檚 pulling to the left. My son (it鈥檚 his car) was told it would probably be worn wishbones, which he has replaced without improvement. Knowledgeable people have spoken of anti-roll bars, tracking, worn engine mountings etc. Tyre pressures are correct. Can anyone advise, please?


Thank you.|||it might be a ball joint problem or a differential problem





the clutches and springs in your locking and torsen differential are probably worn suplying more torque to the left side causing your car to veer to the right or if the right tire is losing grip under accelration and you have a locking and torsen differential( now i remember i just forgot for a second brain blank for a second) then when that right tire is losing grip it pushes the clutches and springs and engages the other gear and this multiplies torque to the other tire this can cause the veering to the right





replace your suspension components axles wishbones control arms





make sure your calipers arent frozen





get a wheel alignment done





replace tires|||depends on how it's been driven?


if ya sons a bit of a boy racer then all the above.


also watch how he pulls up to the kerb. if he mounts it all the time then it's 100% the tracking.





hope this helps anymore questions just e-mail me|||had the same problem with my escort a few years ago. discovered that it was the diff in the gearbox was away which admit was totaly my fault from driving like a boy racer. befor i found out that was the fault i had the wheel alignment set. new wishbones and track rod ends.
