right well it all started few weeks ago i hit a pothole and it was a big one it caused my left tyre to get a bulge and i got it changed with a cheap one to pass mot as i was skint then i noticed when i put my foot down it pulled badly to the right but only when i acalerated so i got both front wheels balanced and swaped and now it pulls to the left i got it all tracked up all fine i then swaped the wheels to the back but it still pulls off to the left only when flooring it i cant work it out nothings bent everythings tracked correctly is it the odd tyres?

buckeled alloy
out of shape tyre
bent leg
lower arm bush
or just 8v torque steer :homme:

first question, are the wheels the same size ?? check the tyre pressures aswell,if one is 3 or 4 psi lower than the other that could be your problem.

Could have damaged your caliper and its grabbing under acceleration. Worth looking just to be sure
