ok i have put a few threads up about car drifting to the left been aligned its all stop on but still goes to the left all the bushings look fine there is no clunks the calipers and not rubbing wheels spin free then jacked up the guy at the garage i use say it could be a rack issue and are going to disconnet the power steering pump belt so there is no power steering and drive it and see if it still pulls. if this dont work what else is there to change

its stop in aglined mate all in the green done a hunter alignment machine .just spoke to the chassis alignment place just told me they cant dont anything the car is to old and its not on there system so am now very stuck on how to find out whats going on and its doing my head in big time am going to have t sell the car for some one to brake not happy as i just spent a few k on loads of new stuff for it looks like my time with the zx is coming to a end gutted

 

Try not to loose hope, sometimes these bl**dy Z's can be a pain in the a*s.

 

Just a thought, but have you measured the positions of front and back wheels with regards to the wheels being equal within the wheel arch?

IE is the gap the same when measuring from the front of the rear tyre to the inner edge of the wheel arch for instance.

Also, check that the height between the top of the wheel and the inner edge of the wheel arch, see if there is a major difference there.

(maybe poor shocks or failing springs etc') Worth mentioning that you will need to be on level ground mind.

find a decent body shop with a jig and give them this info:

the car cant be too old. maybe too old to get settings out his book. but page 42 onwards will provide all the info needed.

Hi Dan, That is bad news, has the car done it since you have had it?

 

yes done it when i got it
