Hi guys,

I'm new to this forum and really hoping that somebody can help, i'm at my wits end here!

My 53 plate 206 XSI pulls to the right under power, it's especially bad on the motorway and i can't push it beyond 60mph without feeling like i'm no longer in control, and taking a right hand bend is terrifying at times! I've replaced both wishbones/suspension arms and drop links which improved it slightly but the problem is still there! The car passed it's MOT on Friday with only 1 advisory regarding a bearing on the passenger side front, but surely this can't be the problem? The advisory only said slight play.

Any help or advice gratefully received!

That will be your engine mounts mate, mine did that same it pulled right under power then snapped back to the left when the accelerater was lifted. Jack your car up on axle stands and put it in gear with the bonnet up and see if your engine moves or bounces under throttle.

Thanks for the replies guys.

Engine mounts are fine, checked driveshafts while i had it up on the stands, can't see any significant movement or hear any clicking/grinding. Wishbones are 2 weeks old, it's a head scratcher!

I read on another thread of someone having the same issue and it was down to the pinch bolts on the wishbones needing replaced, does this sound likely?

The car really doesn't seem to be liking right hand turns, whether under power or not.


	Thank you
