Hi all.
I just got out from under my 500 looking over all the front suspension and I'm lost!
Here's the issue, when I stomp on the gas the car tracks true until the engine come on power at about 3500-4000rpm as the power rolls on the car pulls hard to the left, when I go to shift up as soon as I hit the clutch it lurches to the right hard. It's kinda fun but could easy put you into a curb or ditch. Checked for bad lower arm bushings all seems ok, trackrod ends, rack and rollbar links all look fine, cannot find any free play anywhere!
Also due to my location I can get US model parts easy, are any of the suspension parts common to any US models like the 1.8L MX3's etc?
I did notice that if I turn a wheel while on the stands the other side turns the same way, I assume they have an LSD, if so could a bad diff cause it to pull?
Anyone got any ideas?

Cheers Danbyman.

did you have the alignment checked yet? if it's still OK, you may have a bad differential

Have not measured it but looking at tire ware and as the car holds a perfect line when not on the power do not suspect allignment.
The clutch master cylinder failed today and the hydraulic line is siezed in so I have plenty to deal with over Christmas.
Anyone know if the cluch master is common to anything sold in the US?

Cheers Danbyman.

the eunos 500 was never sold in the US, so I would think not

Answer is NO. it's a left hand, right hand thing but the service kit is the same, just got one for a US MX3 all fitted and working again.
So no under the hood work on Christmas day for me, Woo Hoo!
Now if only it would go in a streight line!!!

Happy Christmas, Danbyman.
