Steering Issues

[charliechalk]

Having some issues with my ST162 just looking for more ideas on what could be an issue.

The story:
Went to a track day all fun, after the track day slight pull to the right, thought nothing of it/alignment issue etc.
All the bushes/joints were old so replaced all of them
I also depowered the rack - capped lines, removed central ring from the rack after dismantling (dremel and patience, no damage to the rack)
Replaced shocks/springs with height adjustables

Got it checked and aligned, which i assume was just a static alignment

Car still pulls right and even while moving is very hard to turn left. car feels a bit vague when steering right but spot on turning left despite the extremely heavy steering

Put it up on stands, steering feels heavyish but the same in both directions when off the ground. Drive seems ok, both wheels turn (standard helical lsd in the s5x gearbox) but the right wheel seems to get a lot more drive than the left even on throttle

I'll be taking it back to the alignment guys as they clearly didn't test it out at all for assessment after I've recoed my brakes because already had that organised to go.

In the meantime, looking for suggestions on things to test, all help appreciated

Swap the front tyres left to right & vice versa. Sometimes they can wear into a pattern that will cause pulling to one side.

Ta, on the list of things to try, think they're directionals though but front to back should still change something
