Pulls left and right

[SuperUno]

The rally car is pulling to the left when under power and right when lifting off.

Also have just noticed a creaking noise when turning steering wheel. Sounds worse when engine is not running i.e. without P/S working.

About to check bolts, tracking, ride height, steering rack, steering rack UJ, etc....

Has done this with more than one set of wheels/tyres. Tyres seem to warm up all ok i.e. no hot sections

Any ideas ?

wishbone usually matt (offside ?)

Bent wishbone or knackered ball joint?

flexing in the bushes usually mate, is it genuine/oem ?

Nearside is oem and offside is cheap copy.

Couldnt get the wheels to move at all with them in the air or on the ground.

Tracking is out though....
