Veering different ways

Post by massari »

When I drive in a straight line it veers slightly to the left, then when I break it goes left for a while, then right, then left etc.. and ends up pretty much in the same spot...

Also it seems to waver in accelerating through gears 2 and 3 at low revs, maybe the gear box is going too?
I've been told my "HT" leads need a change as they are "dodgy"
Any ideas?


The changes I have had done recently is;

front shocks,
front brake pads,
cam belt & tensioners,

front tracking and chamber check done,

I check the tyre psi regularly, I put them at 32 psi, it has 17 inch Kosei racer alloys on it.

Brakes

Check the brake calipers on the front, they can become stiff and catch causing this pulling ..

I suggest stripping them down as if your going to fit new pads and using some copper grease in the guides (the two metal prongs).

Worth a try at least.

The brakes were fitted by a garage and I could see what appears to be the copper grease all over it, so I think it would have been fitted properly??? :?
