   My car seems to wander side to side when braking and accelerating like when i b rake it goes to the left and when accelerate hard it sort of goes side to side like torque steer i think and seems a bit funny when turning like i turn and when coming back round have to turn that bit more as the pointing to much to the outside. I dont know if wheels need balancing or what. I have
   15" pro races. Ive not long had my tracking done about 2-3 months ago too. Any ideas??

   Tyre pressures mate, mine did this and I found one of the tyres pressure was right down. get them checked and see.

   well the one at the back pas is always going down so need new tire but the others are ok. I can really tell the difference when pumped back up but not 100% sure if thats it. I usually pump them upto 35psi is that ok or should put abit more into them?

   It could be a ball joint. when u gunning it it the wheel will toe out and when u brake the wheel will toe in. A shaft wont make it pull

   second that.
   go get your tracking re-done, and get it level'd out.
   check your tyres for camber wear too... that could be the cause...

    My tires arent that old only a few months and had tracking done about same time! It feels as though when turning its pulling the otherside!
