I think my car's OK again

[Richard Price]

But it wasn't for my only two runs up Loton yesterday ❗ (but I didn't find out until today ❗)

I went for a short run this afternoon, to listen for knocks and groans etc.

I noticed a slight pull to the left, but, as I applied power, the car pulled to the right!

As I drove along trying to work out what it might be, I tried going on and off the power as I would have done yesterday afternoon. I had to make quite significant corrections to the steering to stop it jumping off the road ❗

I think its all to do with the diff.

I have been loaned Marks buffed 195/45 Stunner, but my tyres are almost new. Putting my front tyre onto the back has cured this very odd handling

 

I just hope Caterham are in stock of replacement wheels.

Richard, check the rear alignment as well. I had a similar thing happen several years ago when I had significant toe in on one side. To be honest it was quite scary

[Richard Price]

Graham,

Yes, I've checked the rear toe, and found the axle to be slightly skewed, but not bent. Loosening all the fixings and then pinching up again straightened it all up again.

Richard, I have a set of wheels in the garage If you want to borrow one until you can source one your welcome to it

[Richard Price]

Jeff,

Thanks for the offer, but I've got a new wheel on the way from Caterham.
