    why oh why?

    after i installed my bilstiens up front and kyb in the rear with GC coilovers. modified perch.
    when ever i take a u-turn or 3/4 lock either right or left.
    and i come back straight the car still pulls to which ever side i turned.
    i would than have to come to the next light and stop.
    turn the wheel the opposite way that its pulling. and than it will go straight again. until the next sharp turn.
    =/
    its getting fustrating.

    i replaced the rack, got a alignment, tranny mounts, guibo, CSB, wheel bearings, and shifter bushings all before i lowered the car.

    any help?

    Something binding? My e30 did the same thing when my coils were binding on my drop hats.

      hmmm thats what i was thinking also. something binding it.
      i did notice when i did take the turns it would sound like a rub sound.
      when i jacked up the car and than lowered it back down again slowly with one person lowering it and me watching thru the fender well (until u cant see anymore)
      it sat in perfect.
      arghhhhhhhhhhhhh
      any way to fix that problem? or did u just let it be?

      thanks!!

        i think i asked this before on another forum? but did you use standard top mounts or aftermarket adjustible, and if you did, did you have a thrust bearing installed so the mount can still spin freely seperate from the spring?
        Just a little project im working on

          Well for my problem, I took out the bekkers drop hats, which were way too wide and grinded them down to stock diameter so they would turn freely inside the strut towers. Fixed the problem.

          Funny because I remember how annoying that was before I fixed the problem, if I had to make hard left or right turns, the car would continue to pull that same direction, I would have to wait to until I came to a stop and crank the wheels the opposite direction to correct, the springs would pop as well.
