Hi,
After hard acceleration and I back off the throttle I get a big steering wobble, car pulls to one side, very disconcerting.
It's a 328i SE Auto year 1999.
Any ideas?
Thanks :)
Moredoor autos with small engines are cool - but my new m20b25 is awesome!

Probably front bottom arm bushes.

I doubt that's your only problem. As it happens I have a set of the bottom wishbones.

Call me on 07785 766266 to discuss..

RTA bushes are probably done.
Powerflex do some easy fit ones, and will sharpen things up nicely.
BMW and Opel, both RWD, both german, both good fun
