Ok here the deal. I just replaced all four rotors and brakes. I also repaced both outter stearing joints? not sure if thats what they are called.Either way when i make a left, or right hand turn and just turn the wheel a bit it will automatically pull all they way around.So the slight left hand turn is like pulling a u-trun unless i grab the wheel hard. It also seems if im goin across gravel on a concret road that my left or right"which ever way im turning front tires" seems like it looses tracktion. Im really lost.Could it be a cv joint or tire rod?I have no clue any help would be great. Thanks

Does it do this both when you are slowing down and also when you are powering through the turn?

ps. if you don't already know the answer, I do not suggest driving the car to find out; I almost want to suggest that you have the car towed to a shop; you make me a tad nervous
 
speed really has no play in it.. Slow or fast it "only" pulls when i turn. Other wise i can take my hands off the wheel and it drives straight as can be.No shaking notta.
 
Evan a friend of mine told me this.. ?

Yx INC u BUS xY: you prolly have a bad wheel bearing
Yx INC u BUS xY: you didnt bleed your breaks did you
Yx INC u BUS xY: ok
Yx INC u BUS xY: || = rotor
Yx INC u BUS xY: \ = caliper
Yx INC u BUS xY: instead of like ........
Yx INC u BUS xY: || \ like it should be
Yx INC u BUS xY: yours is like
Yx INC u BUS xY: || \ and when you turn its cause your breaks on that side to catch
Yx INC u BUS xY: and stop that wheel only from moving
Yx INC u BUS xY: thats your loss of traction
Yx INC u BUS xY: and when it stops that wheel the other keeps going causeing you to pull hard to that side

i shall try it tomorrow.. any comments?
