Hi...

My MY99 is pulling slightly to the left under acceleration and going back right when lifting off. Most apparent at approx. 60-70 mph.

I just had a complete laser-allignment done - but the problem is still there. I'm running on Eibachs and have not had the the bump-steer-mod done yet (live in Denmark - but definetely going to visit PowerStation this spring). Can't remember the allignment settings - but something tells me this isn't it anyway...

Any suggestions?

Thanks Martin

Had the same problem with my classic MY2000, I recently replaced the original 16" with speedline 17" and Goddyear GSD3, problem gone !!
Because I was curious about this I replaced the original wheels but changed the tyres from left to right (not front and rear !!!)
the car pulled then the other way.... I've contacted the importer of the tyres (Bridgestone Belgium), they send me a report :
When the car is driven with the alignment out of shape for a long time, the tyres will wear rapidly, but not in the correct form, either the outer or the inner side will wear more than the other.
When this sort of wear is more then a few mm, it doesn't matter anymore if your car is aligned then, because the tyres will track to one side, due to the wear....

Thanks...

Actually I just changed to my wintertires, so that must be it.

I guess I'll just have to buy 17's then...
