I've had all the suspension bushes replaced and wheel alignment done on my '71 144. But the steering is still stiff and now the car pulls somewhat to one side when braking (could be incorrect brakes bleeding, tested 20% imballance on same side front and rear on rollers) and the car follows the slope of the road. It did not do this before, there was just play in mainly the rear bushes which made the car feel loose. Now it feels like the rear has a mind of it's own, trying to pass the front when I wiggle the steering on a streight road. I trust the guy that fitted the bushes, but not the one that did the alignment. And it is probably not wheel bearings, because here in New Zealand we have a compulsory bi-annual safety inspection and my car passed 100%.
I'm an electronic engineer and do not have a feel for the wheel alignment test results. Can someone please make comments on the following results for left and right respectively, keeping in mind it is a right hand drive:
Camber 0.83 0.45 Deg
Caster 1.58 0.70 Deg
Toe-In 1.0 0.3 mm (or 0.039" 0.012")
SAI 6.43 6.52 Deg
Cross Camber 0.38 Deg
Cross Caster 0.88 Deg
Cross SAI -0.08 Deg
Total Toe 1.3 mm (or 0.051")
Thanks in advance, and have fun...
