Andrew have you checked the lower control arm angles are not to close to horizontal?

Hi Everyone, My car seems to want to wander around a bit and pull to one side or the other on anything but smooth roads. Its especially noticable on roads where grooves in the tarmac have formed under the wheels (eg at traffic lights). It doesnt just pull to the one side all the time, so its not a misalignment in one steering component. The archives note this can be a symptom of shot toe control rod bushes ('donuts'). I did the test described - grabbing the wheel at 9 and 3 oclock and there is no noticable movement whatsoever. I have nolathane donut bushes, standard TC rods, 240K struts with the calipers behind the hub, tie rod ends, idler arm etc all replaced. Any ideas what it could be causing the car to want to track with the gradient of the road? Could the TC rods be torqued incorrectly, so the donuts are incorrectly compressed???????
