Im running a lightweight that feels as if the back end is pulling one way when you take your foot of the accelerator and the other way when you put the gas on again! Something along the drive train I guess, but I'm a bit of a newbie, and any ideas of what I should be looking for would be most appreciated.:crazy_driver:

or even the locating dowel on the springs to the axle plates ( between the U bolts ) .

dive under it and look for movement marks on the springs by the axle , there shouldnt be any and there should be NO gaps what so ever .

I'd stop driving her till its sorted befor you cause an accident as rear wheel steering is not the best thing to have unless its a forklift lol .

Thanks guys,

It appears to have been the u-bolts worked loose, she's back on a straight line now.

It's a good job he asked for advice. Ace way to take a header across the carriageway into a truck going the other way at 56 mph.
