205 mi16.

[chrishaydn]

Hi i have just purchased a 205gti with an mi16 engine, it goes well but it wants to wander to the right when accellerating, and wander back when decellerating.
Can anyone tell me why,and what ican do to solve this problem

Cheers.

Your wishbone bushes probably need changing. Don't go after market, just normal pug are the best and only cost around 27 for the set including bolts.

Thats called torque steer.i bet all the mi16 205,s do that,most power full front wheel drive cars do that,don,t think you can cure it but i sure some one will say you can.

Thanks all, I will be having a good look this weekend! Changing to R.W.D a bit drastic, would be a real beastie tho!!!

You could say that but actually it's likely 99% to be worn wishbone bushes.
Hold it at 60 on the motorway, gently increase power and it will veer off. Ease of and it will return to the lane it has just left!

As per other posters, 99% going to be worn wishbone bushes. You can replace or upgrade to 309 front wishbones which are a little longer and consequently give you a little more negative camber at the front. I did it on mine back in the day.

It's not torque steer if it pulls one way under load, and then the opposite on the overrun! As stated, it's probably bushes.

That or tracking/un-even tyre wear/differing tyre pressures etc

[eliotrw]

Its not torque steer.
Its either the wishbone bushes as said or a loose/dodgy TRE

You didn't buy it of a guy called Colin from "Pug Performance" did you?
