hotrod9873 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Posted June 13, 2013 hi all need help mk1 escort. put yr foot down and she pulls slightly to the left . lift off and she darts to the right . on the edge of undrivable. I have taken the lsd out but its still the same . she has a fully foating rear axle on coil overs . the front is on compression struts and coil overs . im not sure off the poundage of the springs .the only thing I have noticed is the panard rod is not pararel to the axle .and when you bounce the front of the car you get a bit off bump stear. when driving normally you stear gently . she goes normally then pulls even more like it has a mind off its own . has anybody had this happen if so how was it sorted . any info would be helpful thanks all brian
Escort Mk1 4 Door Posted June 13, 2013 Report Posted June 13, 2013 sounds like maybe towing out on front and maybe to much caster angle making ti self steer
SmokeEm Posted June 13, 2013 Report Posted June 13, 2013 My Capri was like that when 1st built. Was toeing out big time.
hotrod9873 Posted June 13, 2013 Author Report Posted June 13, 2013 but would the caster make it dart to the right when youcome off the power
Escort Mk1 4 Door Posted June 13, 2013 Report Posted June 13, 2013 weight shift when coming off power it will shift the weight to front right wheel
hotrod9873 Posted June 13, 2013 Author Report Posted June 13, 2013 weight shift when coming off power it will shift the weight to front right wheel I thought that . the only thing I can come up with is the front springs are 2 week . the legs are gas ones
Escort Mk1 4 Door Posted June 13, 2013 Report Posted June 13, 2013 no matter how hard u set a car to an extent the weight well always shift
dacar Posted June 14, 2013 Report Posted June 14, 2013 Start with the cheapest option and then process of elimination.
