Another one of those steering issues

When I back off the power it pulls to the right - when on the gas it pulls to the left. As with most RR problems I'm sure someone will have experienced this before?

...You may want to have a look at the rear radius arm bushes..both ends!
They're good for creating that effect.....& the way the diff rotates adds to the problem.....one wheel is favoured with torque first (before the other) under power, & the other takes the load first on overrun....
...(As I understand it anyway...)

I had same problem once & new rear Radius arm bushes at the chassis end fixed it

I thought the slack in the bushes was creating a toe in, toe out effect on the rear wheels as I was on & off the power.

...It makes the rear axle 'steer' slightly, pivoting at the balljoint...
Thanks everyone

I'll check out the bushes.
