    Default swift 016 suspension problem

    Hi All, Just completed a suspension overhaul and setup the car to the factory baseline numbers , took the car out on a test day and noticed that at slow speed approx 5 mph the car pulls to the left. brakes are not dragging and wheels are free wheeling any ideas?
    Thanks

    Caster, Camber, Toe, Tire Pressure or Corner weight is probably not equal side-to-side.

    If car was indeed set to factory specs, could it have been as simple as a crown in the road/paddock wherever this occurred?

    Default Front WB Bracket

    The front lower wishbone, forward pickup is not located in the center of the tub. All Swift 016s are this way.

    The front lower wishbones must be set to unequal lengths to be square to the tub.
